If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 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 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 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 he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
