If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 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 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after they have rotted away?" 78 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 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 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
