And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 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 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 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 thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto 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
