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 We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (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 are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every 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 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "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
