And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 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 subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 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 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
