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 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
