And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not 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 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 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 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 who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
