And he putteth arguments to us, and forgetteth his creation, saying, “Who can quicken bones that are rotten?”
Say: He who first made them to be shall quicken them: for all creating He knoweth well;—
Who made for you fire from a green tree, and behold, ye kindle with it;
And is not He who created the Heavens and the Earth able to create their like? Yea! for He is the wise Creator.
His command, when he willeth a thing, is only to say to it “Be,” and it is!
Then extolled be the Perfection of Him in whose hand is the empire over all, and to whom ye must return.
