And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 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 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it 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 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
