To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not 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 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 He questions Our Resurrection of him, but has forgotten his own creation. He has said, "Who will give life to the bones which have become ashes?" 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "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
