Question
In the Qur'an Surah 30 Verse 21 it is stated that Allah Ta'ala has created for you mates from yourselves. Does it mean that my wife is created from my own body or something else?

The verse means that our mother Hazrat Hawa (Alaihas Salaam) was created from the rib of our father Hazrat Aadam (Alayhis Salaam).
