Or again, to fit words to the same thought.
19- Their example stands similitude exact of a people who are overshadowed with dark thunder cloud floating in the floor of the vault of heaven and sends forth thunder and lightning, terrifying and startling, and they think that by plugging their ears with their finger tips to make them impervious to sound they would avert death, but Allah besets and bounds those who deny Him on all sides.

20- Lightning very nearly snatches their sense of sight; as often as it emits for them gleams they proceed under its light and when it darkens, their eyes shrivel into darkness in their heads and they stand dead; and had Allah willed He would have deprived them of their sense of hearing and that of sight, faculties divine; He is indeed Qadirun (Omnipotent) to effect all things.

Verse 22 ##
22- It is He Who set for you the earth at creation in the order of a settled habitation where you establish your abode* and made the heaven with its regions, spheres, celestial bodies and realms of space a construction of imposing magnitude and He sent down from the floor of the vault of heaven rain water and with it He caused the various products to spring from the soil**, products fit to be used as food for human sustenance. Therefore, employ your faculty of reason in forming conclusions and reason high of Providence and do not equal with Him deities haunting your imagination when the instinctive perception of the truth is natural to you.

** See V.164 and commentary
Commentary:
Without rain, erosion and the weathering of rocks there would be no soil for plants to grow in.
Rainfall indicates the life-generating process by creating fertile soil from rain erosion and rock weathering. Plant life depends primarily on rainfall in light of the fact that many plants can only produce in aquatic environments and land plants are influenced mainly by rainfall. So, even though temperature, soil variety, solar exposure collectively contribute to plant survival, rain is the most significant factor in determining plant development*.
Rain, the life-giver:
No plant can live without water and many can live and produce only in aquatic- environments. Land dwelling plants, in turn, depend primarily upon rain-fall for this vital water supply. Thus, Although temperature range, soil variety, length of day and other factors all play their part in determining what plants grow where, the most important single influence is rain*.

Verse 25 ##
25- Meanwhile, announces O Muhammad, blissful tidings to those whose hearts reflect the image of religious and spiritual virtues and there deeds wisdom and pious: that they shall be welcomed into gardens of bliss and surpassing beauty beneath which rivers flow. As often as they are offered any kind of the fruit therein, they express their thoughts in words: «But this is what we had before in life for our livelihood.» In effect, they are offered what bears a marked resemblance to what they had in life, but not of a like nature; it has the power to excite relish and ecstatic delight unexperienced before. And therein shall they be accompanied by mates of their design: pure, chaste and holy fellows of their piety and therein they will have passed through nature to Eternity.

-----------------------------
Verse 26 ##
26- Allah is by no means reluctant from fear of shame to give an allegory applying creatures as small as a gnat or a larger creature to describe subjects under the guise of some other subject of aptly suggestive resemblance intended to convey a useful lesson by which moral and spiritual relations are typically set forth. As to those whose hearts have been impressed with the image of religious and spiritual virtues, they know well that the simile narrated by Allah, their Creator, is the truth personified as it illustrates and ennobles the subject. But those who deny Allah wonder to hear Allah talk after this manner and they say: «What does Allah mean by such a parable?» In effect, such parables as Allah discourses are intended to stray the many who counsel deaf to the truth and to guide the many who have clean hearts to the path of righteousness and He misguides only the wicked who confirm themselves in the evil purpose and the ill intention.

Verse 35 ##
35- We created from Adam his mate* who was mated to his design and said to him: «O Adam, make abode you and your wife in Paradise and eat as you will and wherever you will, it is all replete with choice of all delights, but do avoid this particular tree, keep off it and do not draw near it lest you both be wrongful of actions.» *
Commentary:
Allah’s Creation reflects His Omnipotence to regulate things by science and to please by perfection of execution. The popular belief among some laity: Eve was created from Adam’s rib. This notion is not far from the truth. It is in this area – loins – (not in the rib itself) the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) develop. They descend to their normal site in the scrotum (male), in the pelvis (female) sometime before birth. After birth: about age 10, the gonads might develop a swelling (tumour) with or causing musculinizing or feminizing characteristics. Furthermore, the ovary might develop a cyst – sac containing fluid or human elements: hair, teeth, bone, fat, glands, etc… (See V.59 - C.3).
Reference: Benson, R.C., Current OBS and Gyn. Diagnosis and Treatment, 1980.
Consequently:
It is reasonable to assume that Eve was created from Adam’s loin, close to the rib.

Verse 36 ##
36- But through envy and hatred did Iblis, take delight in the portraiture of lawless passion and succeed in tempting them both to commit themselves to what they failed to realize would be an evil line of conduct that they ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. With the prospect of pleasure and advantage of inciting them to evil, -AL-Shaytan- precipitated their ejection from the state of supreme bliss. In consequence, We said to them: «Upon Our command to all of you, We bring you down upon from this blissful state with mutual enmity toward each other, and you shall settle on earth for a predetermined point of time.»

37- Prompted by the sense of guilt, Adam felt shame, but because guilt did not reside in the intention, Allah in mercy inspired him with a prayer for invoking His forgiveness, and in turn did Allah give up resentment against him and pardon his offence: it is He Who always accepts true repentance and the atonement made by the people, He is AL-Rahim.
