If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so 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 they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 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 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
