And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 They chose idols besides God in the hope of receiving help from them, but they will not be able to help them. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary. 77 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" 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 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 these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
