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 whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 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 they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of 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 earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the 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 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
