And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so do they 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 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 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before 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 consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 And he invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
