He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
