If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear 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 shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it '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
