If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. This is merely a Reminder and a clear Quran 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that 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 for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
