If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 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 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which 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 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
