And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do 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 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 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 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say 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
