Universal Pairing In Quran

Quran 36:36
Exalted is He who created all pairs (Or “all species.”) – from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

Quran 30:21
And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

• The Quran emphasizes that Allah has created pairs in all aspects of life, not just in the context of marriage and family. This concept of pairs represents balance and harmony in the universe and is mentioned in various verses of the Quran. From a scientific perspective, we know that there are many examples of pairs in nature, such as male and female organisms in many species, positive and negative charges in atoms, and so on. However, the Quranic verse is not meant to provide a detailed scientific explanation of these phenomena, but rather to illustrate the idea that everything in the universe has its complementary counterpart, which together form a harmonious whole.

There are many examples of complementary and paired phenomena in the natural world that have been scientifically observed and studied. Here are a few examples:

1. Male and Female Organisms → All sexually reproducing organisms require the pairing of male and female individuals. This is observed across a wide range of species, from plants to animals. The pairing of male and female organisms is critical to the survival and continuation of these species. Even in asexual reproduction, natural pairing exists, such as parent-offspring relationships, genetic duplication, or cell division into two.
2. Positive and Negative Charges → The interaction of positively and negatively charged particles gives rise to electricity and many other important physical phenomena. This is observed in everyday life, such as when we use electrical devices, and it is also studied in detail in the field of physics.
3. Left and Right-Handed Molecules → In chemistry, many molecules have a “handedness” (chirality), meaning they can exist in two mirror-image forms. These complementary forms play important roles in chemical reactions and biological processes.
4. Matter and Antimatter → In particle physics, matter and antimatter are complementary opposites. When they come into contact, they annihilate each other and produce energy.
5. Fire and Water → Fire (heat, energy) and water (cooling, life-sustaining) are opposing yet interconnected elements, essential for balance in nature.
6. Sea and Earth → The contrast between oceans (water, movement, fluidity) and land (solid, stable, foundation) demonstrates another fundamental pairing in nature.
7. Earth and What Is Above It (Sun & Moon) → Earth exists in harmony with what is above it, including the atmosphere, celestial bodies, the sun, and the moon. Each plays a crucial role in sustaining life through light, gravity, and cycles of time.

These are just a few examples of complementary and paired phenomena in the natural world that have been scientifically observed and studied. The concept of pairs or complementary opposites is a fundamental principle in many areas of science.

Additional Information

In this article, we have included some references related to the Universal Pairing Principle, but not all possible sources. We have highlighted select scientific proofs that demonstrate how everything in nature exists in pairs. While humans only discovered these principles through modern science, the Quran revealed this truth 1,400 years ago in Quran 36:36, stating that pairs exist in all creation, including those “they do not know.” The phrase “from that which they do not know” is significant, as modern science has discovered microscopic life forms, subatomic particles, and even concepts like matter-antimatter pairs, which were unknown at the time of revelation, It is important to note that the Quran is not a science book, but its verses are a sign that aligns with scientific discoveries.
