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 We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so 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 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, We know what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!" 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 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 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
