Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. This is merely a Reminder and a clear Quran 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 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 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
