Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still 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 warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
