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 To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
