To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork 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 have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 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 will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all 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 like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
