If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 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 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 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 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after they have rotted away?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
