PLANTS CREATED IN PAIRS, MALE AND FEMALE
“’And has sent Down water from
the sky.’ With it have We produced Diverse pairs of plants Each separate
from the others.” [Al-Qur’an 20:53]
FRUITS CREATED IN PAIRS, MALE AND FEMALE
“And fruit Of every kind He made In pairs, two and two.”
[Al-Qur’an 13:3]
Fruit is the end product of reproduction of the superior plants. The
stage preceding fruit is the flower, which has male and female organs
(stamens and ovules). Once pollen has been carried to the flower, they
bear fruit, which in turn matures and frees its seed. All fruits
therefore imply the existence of male and female organs; a fact that is
mentioned in the Qur’an. In certain species, fruit can come from
non-fertilized flowers (parthenocarpic fruit) e.g. bananas, certain
types of pineapple, fig, orange, vine, etc. They also have definite
sexual characteristics.
EVERYTHING MADE IN PAIRS
“And of everything We have created pairs.”
[Al-Qur’aan 51:49]
This refers to things other than humans, animals, plants and fruits. It
may also be referring to a phenomenon like electricity in which the
atoms consist of negatively – and positively – charged electrons and
protons.
“Glory to Allah, Who created In
pairs all things that The earth produces, as well as Their own (human)
kind And (other) things of which They have no knowledge.”
[Al-Qur’an 6:36]
The Qur’an here says that everything is created in pairs, including
things that the humans do not know at present and may discover later.
