But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, 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 the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 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 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
