The physical growth of those whom We grant a long life will be reversed. Will you then not understand? 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 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would 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 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 invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 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 affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
