Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 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. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
