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 it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 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 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 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 thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
