He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense? 68 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 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 propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
