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 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
