And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so 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 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 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 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 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 who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 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 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
