But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 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 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that 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 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after they have rotted away?" 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
