And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 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, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
