Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 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 gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 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 see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 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 not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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.
