Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 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 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might 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. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. 77 And he invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
