Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. 77 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
