Surah 30. Ar-Rum, Ayah 21
| وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |
| Asad | : | And among His wonders is this: He creates for you mates out of your own kind,15 so that you might incline towards them, and He engenders love and tenderness between you: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think! |
| Malik | : | And of His signs, another one is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may find comfort with them, and He planted love and kindness in your hearts; surely there are signs in this for those who think about it. |
| Pickthall | : | And of His signs is this: He created for you helpmeets from yourselves that ye might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo, herein indeed are portents for folk who reflect. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts); verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. 3525 3526 |
| Transliteration | : | Wamin ayatihi an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwajan litaskunoo ilayha wajaAAala baynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona |
Note - 15Lit., "from among yourselves" (see surah {4}, note [1]).

Note - 3525This refers to the wonderful mystery of sex. Children
arise out of the union of the sexes. And it is always the
female sex that bring forth the offspring, whether female
or male. And the father is as necessary as the mother for
bringing forth daughters.
|
Note - 3526Cf. vii. 189. Unregenerate man is pugnacious in the male
sex, but rest and tranquility are found in the normal
relations of a father and mother dwelling together and
bringing up a family. A man's chivalry to the opposite
sex is natural and Allah-given. The friendship of two men
between each other is quite different in quality and
temper from the feeling which unspoilt nature expects as
between men and women. There is a special kind of love
and tenderness between them. And as woman is the weaker
vessel, that tenderness may from a certain aspect be
likened to mercy, the protecting kindness which the
strong should give to the weak.
