The physical growth of those whom We grant a long life will be reversed. Will you then not 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 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 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 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
