65 That day We shall seal their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will bear witness as to what they earned. |
66 And if We pleased, We would put out their eyes, then they would strive to get first to the way, but how should they see? |
67 And if We pleased, We would transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, or turn back. |
68 And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce to an abject state in creation. Do they not understand? |
69 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught but a Reminder and a plain Qur’ān, |
70 To warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the disbelievers. |
71 See they not that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? |
72 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they ride, and some they eat. |
73 And therein they have advantages and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? |
74 And they take gods besides Allāh that they may be helped. |
75 They are not able to help them, and they are a host brought up before them. |
76 So let not their speech grieve thee. Surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. |
77 Does not man see that We have created him from the small life-germ? Then lo! he is an open disputant. |
78 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones, when they are rotten? |
79 Say: He will give life to them, Who brought them into existence at first, and He is Knower of all creation, |
80 Who produced fire for you out of the green tree, so that with it you kindle. |
81 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! And He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. |
