If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 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 We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after they have rotted away?" 78 Say, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
