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 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 from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says 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
