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 (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 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 have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 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, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 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
