To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not understand? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 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 that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
