68. 1 That is, whomever We grant a long life, We reverse his creation . That is, when he is a child, his growth continues and his intellectual and physical abilities keep increasing until he reaches youth and old age. In contrast, the process of weakness and decline begins in his intellectual and physical faculties. Until he becomes like a child.

68. 2 That the One who can do this, is He not capable of resurrecting humans again?
