And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 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
