But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) do not grieve because of what they (the disbelievers) say; indeed We know what they conceal and what they disclose. 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 will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle 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 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
