And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
