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 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 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 has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
