And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not 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 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some 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 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 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 strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 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 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 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 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
