To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 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 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
