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 whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so 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 take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 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: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
