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 the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 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 the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
