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 poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 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 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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 Whenever He decides to create something He has only to say, "Exist," and it comes into existence. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
