And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 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 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
