Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that 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 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
