If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 And We have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding and on some of them they feed? 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken besides Allah aliha (gods), hoping that they might be helped (by those so called gods). 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 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 quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
