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 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And for them therein are [other] 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 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 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 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
