If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
