If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious 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 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
