And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 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 the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
