If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 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 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [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 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and 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 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 will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
