If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 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 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
