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 We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 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 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which you kindle' 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
