And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 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 makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
