And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). 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 To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready 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 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 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 produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
