And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so 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 the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 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 tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest 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 thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
