He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense? 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 the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 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 will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all 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 the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
