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 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 And he invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
