And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then 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 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some 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 take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and 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 strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 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 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
