Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 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 created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 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 thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
