And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an 69 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that 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 he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
