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 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 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 quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every 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 earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
