And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so do they not understand? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
