And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle 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 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
