And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which you kindle' 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
