If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not 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 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 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 His command is only when He intends a thing 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
