And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 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, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
