The physical growth of those whom We grant a long life will be reversed. Will you then not understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 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 subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 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 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
