Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
