If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him (Prophet Mohammed- peace and blessings be upon him) to recite poetry, nor does it befit him; it is nothing but an advice and the bright Qur’an. 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that 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 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 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, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
