If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 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 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 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, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
