And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide 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 makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say: "He who created you 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 He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
