If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then 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 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after 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 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 likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
