If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not 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 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "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
