And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 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 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 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 presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and 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
