And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. This is merely a Reminder and a clear Quran 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 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 give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
