And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then 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 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then 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 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
