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 taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 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 We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
