And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 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 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] 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 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 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 thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
