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 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 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 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 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which 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 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
