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 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. This is merely a Reminder and a clear Quran 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 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 We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 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 has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only 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
