But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
