Are all organisms created in pairs?

Are all organisms created in pairs?

51:49 And of everything We have created pairs (zawjayni), so that you may remember.

36:36 Glory be to the One Who created all (in) pairs (l-azwaja)of what the earth grows and of themselves, and of what they do not know.

(This Verse does not say that all things are created as male and female, because the words “male” and “female” are not mentioned in this Verse. One interpretation of the Verse, and according to Abner Soffer from Colorado State University: “we now know that every type of particle has a corresponding antimatter particle, called an anti-particle. A particle an its anti-particle are identical in almost every way – they have the same mass, for example – but they have opposite charges. Matter and antimatter are created together. We deduce that all the matter in the universe today is only about a billionth of the amount of matter that existed during the very early universe. Almost every matter particle collided with an antimatter particle in a process called annihilation, the opposite of pair production. But roughly a billionth of the matter particles survived, and it is those particles that now make the galaxies, stars, planets, and all living things on Earth, including our own bodies”. “Matter and antimatter are created in equal amounts in the universe”)(Source: article “What’s the matter with antimatter?” by Abner Soffer, website: “fnal.gov”)(Allah knows best)

28:88 And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything (will be) destroyed except His Face. His is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned.

51:49 And of everything We have created pairs (zawjayni), so that you may remember.

20:53 The One Who made for you the earth as a bed and inserted therein ways for you, and sent down water from the sky, then We brought forth with it diverse pairs (azwajan) of plants.

(Another interpretation of “pairs” is that everything created is not unique, for example, there is no only one apple, but many apples (aka pairs of it). Only God has not pair or equal or comparison. Verse 112:4 says, “And nor is there to Him any equivalent.")(Allah knows best)

20:131 And do not extend your eyes towards that which We have given enjoyment, pairs (azwajan) of them, the splendor of the life of the world, by which We may test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.

(According to the context, “azwajan” may refer to “spouses”)(The root of “azwajan” (pairs) is “Zay-Waw-Jiim”, and it means “to couple / join / pair / unite / wed, marriage, a pair, a fellow or like, spouse”. So, according to these definitions, it also means “a fellow or a like” (aka “equal, of the same type”))(Allah knows best)

39:6 He created you from a single soul. Then (thumma) He made from it its mate (zawjaha). And He sent down for you of the cattle eight kinds. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in three darkness[es]. That is Allah your Lord; for Him is the dominion. There is no god except Him. Then how are you turning away?

(Verse 39:6 says, “He created you from a single soul. Then He made from it its mate/pair (zawjaha).”; so it implies that one is created from the other; the Verse could be interpreted as mankind procreating/multiplying (aka having pairs), so it is applied to any human who procreates)(It might not refer to the creation of woman, after man, because the word “you”, in the sentence “He created you”, is in plural, so everyone comes from that single soul. Then, the word “then” (thumma) is sequential, so after you, you are multiplied)(Allah knows best)

31:28 Your creation and your resurrection (is) not but as a single soul. Indeed, Allah (is) All-Hearer, All-Seer.

42:11 The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you from yourselves, mates (azwajan), and among the cattle mates (azwajan); He multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

(The context of “azwajan”, in this case, is about male and female)(Allah knows best)

38:58 And other of its type, kinds (azwajun).

(Verse 38:58 also confirms the interpretation that “pairs/kinds” refers to being of the same type or equal, because the Verse uses the word “pairs” referring to one single type. So, the Qur’an does not say that “everything” was created as male and female)(Allah knows best)

11:40 Till when Our command came, and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load on it of every (kullin) kind (zawjayni), two (ith’nayni), and your family, except those against whom the word has preceded, and whoever believed." And none believed with him except a few.

(Verse 11:40 also uses the root “Zay-Waw-Jiim”, meaning “kind”, according to the context. And it also specifies the number “two” (ith’nayni), as if “pairs/kinds” were more than “two”, so the number “two” is to be specified in the sentence)(Allah knows best)

22:5 O mankind, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then indeed, We created you from dust, then from a drop, then from a clinging substance, then from an embryonic lump, formed and unformed, that We may make clear to you. And We cause to remain in the wombs what We will for an appointed term, then We bring you out as a child, then, that you may reach maturity. And among you is (he) who dies, and among you is (he) who is returned to the most abject age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, then when We send down water on it, it gets stirred and swells and grows every beautiful kind (zawjin).

36:81 Is it not (He) Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create (the) like of them. Yes, indeed, and He (is) the Supreme Creator, the All-Knower.

(God is Able to create the like of the heavens and the earth, so there are no unique things in the creation)(Allah knows best)

2:25 And give good news to those who believe, and do righteous deeds, that for them (will be) Gardens, under which rivers flow. Every time they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And they will be given therefrom in resemblance; And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein forever.

31:10 He created the heavens without pillars that you see and has cast firm mountains in the earth lest it (might) shake with you, and He dispersed therein from every creature. And We sent down water from the sky, then We caused to grow therein of every noble kind (zawjin).

53:45 And that He created the pairs (l-zawjayni), the male and the female 53:46 From a drop when it is emitted (tum’na).

(In this context, male and female are explicitly mentioned, so it refers to the gender of a baby. “A drop” refers to the “zygote” (sperm and ovum fused), and that’s when it gets a gender)(Notice that the Verse uses the word “tum’na” (emitted), which means “to destine / to write a destiny”. “A drop when it is emitted” (53:46) suggests that when sperm and ovum fuse, the gender of a baby is known. So, it is in accordance with science)(Allah knows best)

75:37 Was he not a drop of emission emitted? 75:38 Then he was a clinging substance, then He created and proportioned. 75:39 Then made of it two kinds (l-zawjayni), the male and the female.

(The context of the word “kinds / pairs”, in Verse 75:39, is “the male and the female”, because male and female are explicitly mentioned, so “kinds / pairs” is in dual form)(Maniyyin yum’na” (emission emitted)(75:37) and “min’hu” (of it)(75:39) are masculine; so, “made of it” refers to the “emission emitted” (both masculine), not to “clinging substance” (blastocyst)(feminine in Arabic). When the drop (male’s and female’s secretions) is emitted/destined, then it will be boy or girl. So, it is not known until the precise moment in which the male’s and female’s secretions mix)(Allah knows best)

55:52 In both of them (are) [of] every (kind of) fruits (in) pairs.

(Verse 55:52 refers to the Hereafter. “Every fruits pairs” is interpreted as each different kind of fruit being multiplied / having likes” of it)(Allah knows best)

56:7 And you will become three kinds (azwajan). 56:8 Then the companions of the right, what are the companions of the right? 56:9 And the companions of the left, what are the companions of the left? 56:10 And the foremost are the foremost,

(Verse 56:7 also uses the root “Zay-Waw-Jiim”, meaning “kinds”, according to the context. And the Verse also specifies the number “three” (similarly Verse 11:40 uses the same root, and mentions number “two”). So, it might imply that if a number is not mentioned, or “male” and “female” are not mentioned, then it is clear that “pairs/kinds” does not necessarily imply “male” and “female” at all, so the Qur’an does not say that “all things” are created as “male” and “female”)(Allah knows best)
