If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 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 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
