If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?- 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
