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 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 the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give 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 Instead, the disbelievers will be brought into the presence of God as the soldiers of the idols. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 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 He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
