And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 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 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
