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 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 some for milk to drink and some from which other benefits may be received? Will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that 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 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 presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 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 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 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 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
