And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after 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, 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 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
