If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 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 for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 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 be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 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 who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type 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 likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
