Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that 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 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 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 earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
