Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Or He makes for whoever He wills both males and females and makes whoever He wills barren and childless. He knows what occurs and what will occur in the future. This is on account of the completeness of His knowledge and perfection of His wisdom. Nothing is hidden from Him. He is able to do all things, nothing is outside His ability.
