Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 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 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
