It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 Whom We made subservient to them so that some of them they ride and some they eat? 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, 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 will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid.

Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. 83
