Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not 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 whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 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 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
