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 (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 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 applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] 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 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
