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 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 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true 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 subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 77 He questions Our Resurrection of him, but has forgotten his own creation. He has said, "Who will give life to the bones which have become ashes?" 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 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 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 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
