Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order 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 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
