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 [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 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!" 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 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 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
