And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 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: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 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 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
