If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
