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 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners. 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
