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 whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 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 have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 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 have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which you kindle' 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
