If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 81 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
