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 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. This is merely a Reminder and a clear Quran 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 We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 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 hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 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 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own 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 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
