If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 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 he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) do not grieve because of what they (the disbelievers) say; indeed We know what they conceal and what they disclose. 76 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 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 Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “They will be revived by the One Who created them the first time; and He is the All Knowing of every creation.” 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "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
