If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 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 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
