And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so do they not 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 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 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: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
