And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all 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 thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
