And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not 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 the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 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 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 And he invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto 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
