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 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 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 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 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 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 give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to 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
