If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
