If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 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 tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 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 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
