But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you 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 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
