Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(He created the heavens and the earth with truth) in order to explain the Truth and falsehood; and it is also said this means: He created the heavens and the earth and they are both destined to vanish and be annihilated, (and He shaped you) in the wombs (and made good your shapes) better than the shapes of beasts; and it is also said this means: He made your shapes seemly by giving you two hands, two feet, two eyes, two ears and all the other members, (and unto Him is the journeying) and unto Him is the return after death.
