And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then 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 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, We know what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear 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 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 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 like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 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
