"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves, mates..." "30:21"
"And God hath given you wives of your own selves, and hath given you from your wives sons and grandchildren..." "16:72"
"He made for you from among your "own" selves pairs..." "42:11"
In the first three verses, it is stated that men have been created from one self, and from that self their mates were created. In the next three verses this subject was made in the plural form and addressing all men that your wives were created from your own selves. Pondering over and meditating in all the verses as a whole, will verily indicate that what God intends to say is that the spouse of man being his mate and counterpart and from his self, neither being alien to him, nor a part of him or created from him "his body". Since if this be true, it should be said that every wife was created from her own husband, hence the last three verses should be taken as evidences and proofs for manifesting and elucidating the meaning of the first verses.
In interpreting these verses, Al-'Allamah AtTabataba'i says:
The apparent meaning of the verse: "and from it, He created its mate" being that God has created a spouse of the same species of the man, and all the human beings belong to two equal and alike individuals.
The word "Min" "from" in the verse is a genetic preposition "i.e. it shows the origin of something". This verse, like other verses, discusses the issue of creation of the woman and man, like the verses: "And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves, mates... ." and the verse: "And God hath given you wives of your own selves..." and others.
On this basis, whatever is stated in regard of these
