To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 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 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 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 has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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 His command is only when He intends a thing 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
