And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not 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 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what 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 applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
