If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 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 who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
