And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 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 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 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, 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 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
