This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 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 have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. 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 [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
