This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
