Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 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 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 like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
