If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 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
