And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so do they not understand? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 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 will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
