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 We have not taught (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 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 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.' 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 When He wills a thing He has only to say: "Be," and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
