And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "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
