And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 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 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! 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 will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create others like these people? Of course He is! He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All Knowing: 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
