Surah Yasin Tafseer

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الاَْزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنبِتُ الاَْرْضُ

Glory be to Him Who has created all the pairs of that which the earth produces,

meaning, of crops and fruits and plants.

وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ

as well as of their own (human) kind,

means, He made them into male and female.

وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

and of that which they know not.

means, different kinds of creatures of which they know nothing.

This is like the Ayah:

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember. (51:49
