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 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 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 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which you kindle' 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
