And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they 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 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, We know what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 He questions Our Resurrection of him, but has forgotten his own creation. He has said, "Who will give life to the bones which have become ashes?" 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
