Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 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 all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 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 similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 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 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
