If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 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 subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken besides Allah aliha (gods), hoping that they might be helped (by those so called gods). 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 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them 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 He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to 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
