To whoever We give a long life We make him stoop. Do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 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 We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "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
