But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 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 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other 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 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
