Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 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 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 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
