Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 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 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 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 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
