If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 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 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) do not grieve because of what they (the disbelievers) say; indeed We know what they conceal and what they disclose. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 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 created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 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 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
