If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him (Prophet Muhammad) poetry, nor does it become him. This is only a Remembrance and a Clear Holy Reading (Koran) 69 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride and some of them they eat; 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 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 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it 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 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
