If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true 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 subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 He questions Our Resurrection of him, but has forgotten his own creation. He has said, "Who will give life to the bones which have become ashes?" 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 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 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
