If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 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 We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that 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 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 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 will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
