To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 He questions Our Resurrection of him, but has forgotten his own creation. He has said, "Who will give life to the bones which have become ashes?" 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 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "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
