It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 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 who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to 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.
