And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they 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 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And We have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding and on some of them they feed? 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
