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 [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 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “They will be revived by the One Who created them the first time; and He is the All Knowing of every creation.” 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
