And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 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 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 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 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 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 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 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 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, 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 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
