And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 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 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 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 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 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 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
