But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 He questions Our Resurrection of him, but has forgotten his own creation. He has said, "Who will give life to the bones which have become ashes?" 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
