And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 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
