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 did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 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 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 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 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
