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 have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 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 will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 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 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
