And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so 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 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 subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 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 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
