Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
