And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then 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 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 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 thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 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: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "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
