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 it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?- 71 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 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 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
