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 all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says 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
