He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah , your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?
Tafseer
{ خلقكم من نفس واحدة } أي آدم { ثم جعل منها زوجها } حواء { وأنزل لكم من الأنعام } الإبل والبقر والغنم الضأن والمعز { ثمانية أزواج } من كلٍ زوجان ذكر وأنثى كما بيّن في سورة الأنعام { يخلقكم في بطون أمهاتكم خلقا من بعد خلق } أي نطفا ثم علقا ثم مضغا { في ظلمات ثلاث } هي ظلمة البطن وظلمة الرحم وظلمة المشيمة { ذلكم الله ربكم له الملك لا إله هو فأنَّى تصرفون } عن عبادته إلى عبادة غيره .
{He created you from one soul} meaning Adam {then made from it its mate} Eve {and sent down for you from the grazing livestock} camels, cows, sheep, and goats {eight mates} of each pair, male and female, as explained in Surat Al-An’am {He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation} meaning sperm, then a clot, then a lump {in three layers of darkness} which are the darkness of the belly, the darkness of the womb, and the darkness of the placenta {That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him. So how are you turned away} from worshipping Him to worshipping other than Him.
