He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 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 Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 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 are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 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 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator 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 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
