But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 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, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "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
