Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 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 for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not 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 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 the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
