If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, 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 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 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 first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
