If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that 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 take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 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 has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is. 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
