If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) do not grieve because of what they (the disbelievers) say; indeed We know what they conceal and what they disclose. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 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 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
