And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of 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 earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
