And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And We have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding and on some of them they feed? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! 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 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
