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 whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 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, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 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 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
