But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 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 that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 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 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
