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 did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give 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 let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest 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 not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
