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 the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 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 first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 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 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
