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 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
