To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they 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 whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?- 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 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 man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 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 Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
