But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them 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 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
