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.
