But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then 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 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 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 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it '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
