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 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 the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “They will be revived by the One Who created them the first time; and He is the All Knowing of every creation.” 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
