And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then 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 the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 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 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
