But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 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 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 75 So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, We know what they conceal and what 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 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: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
