And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 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 who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
