“He it is Who created you from a single soul, and of the same (kind) did He make his mate, that he might take rest in her. So when he covered her, she bore a light burden and passed (sometime) with it. Then when she grew heavy, they both invoked Allah, their Lord: ‘If you give us a righteous son, certainly we shall be of the grateful ones’.”*** Another part of the circumstances of the pagans and the way of their thinking and the answer to their mistakes are hinted to here.

And, since the former verses referred to the Unity of Divine Acts, the substitutive verses are counted as their complement.

At first, it says: “He it is Who created you from a single soul, and of the same (kind) did He make his mate, that he might take rest in her…” The couple had a pleasant life with each other, but when the spouse had sexual intercourse with his wife, she bore a light burden such that, at the beginning, that burden did not bother her and she could easily continue performing her affairs.

The verse says: “…So when he covered her, she bore a light burden and passed (sometime) with it…” Later, by passing some days and nights, her burden gradually grew heavier. When she became heavy, the couple expected a child and hoped that Allah would grant them a righteous child.

“But when He gave them a righteous son, they (Adam’s children) ascribed partners to Him in what He had given them. But Exalted is Allah above any partners that they ascribe (to Him).”*** 191 ***.
