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 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 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 that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 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, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
