Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Creation of Man in StagesAllah tells us that He has created everything well and formed everything in a goodly fashion. Malik said, narrating from Zayd bin Aslam:الَّذِى أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُ(Who made everything He has created good) means, "He created everything well and in a goodly fashion." When Allah mentions the creation of the heavens and the earth, He follows that by mentioning the creation of man.
