If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 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 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 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 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 shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
