This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages.

Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
