And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 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 subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 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 help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 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 give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 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 glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
