Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And of everything We created pairs, so that you may remember)]
Allah the Exalted said:[Surat al-Dhariyat:49]Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, created pairs of everything, male and female, so that the state would be complete and things would be right through the coming together of one with the other.All animals, whether human or otherwise, are created from a pair: a male and a female, as Allah the Exalted said:[Surat al-Hujurat:13]except that Adam (peace be upon him) was created by Allah with His hand, without a mother or a father, and his wife, Hawwa, was created from a father without a mother, and 'Isa ibn Maryam was created from a mother without a father.For this reason, humanity is divided into four categories: The first: one created without a mother or a father, and that is Adam.
The second: One created from a father without a mother, and that is Hawwa.
The third: One created from a mother without a father, and that is 'Isa.
The fourth: The rest of humanity were created from a male and a female.
From everything, Allah created pairs: Dryness and moisture, heat and cold, softness and hardness, and other things, by which, when a person reflects, he knows the wisdom of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
((So that you may remember)) means: We have made this clear to you so that you may remember and take a lesson from the verses of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. Indeed, the more a person knows of the verses of Allah, whether cosmic or legislative, the more he takes a lesson and draws attention to them. For this reason, Allah encouraged looking at the cosmic verses, and He said: [Surat Yunus: 101] ,And Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Rum: 8] And Allah the Exalted praised those who reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth in His saying: [Surat Ali 'Imran: 190-191] Therefore, a person should take a lesson, remember, and reflect on the verses of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, both cosmic and legislative.
Allah the Exalted said:
And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.
وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَO mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوباً وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُواThe second: One created from a father without a mother, and that is Hawwa.
The third: One created from a mother without a father, and that is 'Isa.
The fourth: The rest of humanity were created from a male and a female.
From everything, Allah created pairs: Dryness and moisture, heat and cold, softness and hardness, and other things, by which, when a person reflects, he knows the wisdom of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
