And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 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 subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding and on some of them they feed? 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are 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, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
