And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 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 the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 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 created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 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 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
