Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary(the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Four) Pairs in Plants VERSE NO.7ِ9 Nowadays, it has been proved that duality and being in pair is among the universal laws of God in the nature. Every kind of plant, animal, or vegetation, are created in pairs and consist of male and female, which fecundation is needed to fertilize them, as it is done somehow among animals and Man.
But it was more than 14 centuries ago that Qura"n has informed Man of this fact that, plants too, like animals are created in pairs, and have male and female! [ 431 ] Not only animal and plants, but whatever has been created, it has been created in pair, and the only single thing in existence which is only One is God and nothing else. وَإِذْ نَادَى رَبُّكَ مُوسَى أَنْ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ(( 10 )) 10- AND WHEN YOUR LORD CALLED MOSES (AND SAID TO HIM) GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPRESSORS.
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلاَ يَتَّقُونَ(( 11 )) 11- TO THE PEOPLE OF PHARAOH (AND ASK THEM) WILL THEY NOT AVOID EVIL DEEDS? قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى أَخَافُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبُونِ(( 12 )) 12- HE SAID; MY LORD! I AM AFRAID THEY BELIE ME. وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلاَ يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى هَارُونَ(( 13 )) 13- AND MY BREAST STRAITENS, AND I AM NOT FLUENT IN SPEECH, SO SEND FOR AARON (TO HELP ME).
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنْبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُونِ(( 14 )) 14- AND (FURTHER), THEY HOLD A CHARGE OF CRIME AGAINST ME, (MOSES HAD KILLED AN EGYPTIAN UNINTENTIONALLY) AND I FEAR THEM TO KILL ME. قَالَ كَلاَّ فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّسْتَمِعُونَ(( 15 )) 15- HE SAID:ِ ``IT IS NOT SO (AS YOU THINK). GO BOTH OF YOU WITH OUR SIGNS.
WE ARE WITH YOU LISTENING.'' [ 432 ] THE COMMENTARY THE BEGINNING OF MOSAIC MISSION VERSE NO.10ِ15 In this chapter, the stories of seven of the prophets have been narrated, beginning with Moses and his wrangling with Pharaoh and his cruel folk, until they were all drowned together, and Moses won the race! One may think that, these narrations have been repeated here and there in Qura"n; but it is not so, and in every passage a different point of the relatively long story has been discussed.
As an instance of it, the above verses about Moses was revealed, when Muslims were very weak, and their enemies very powerful; and the two parties had a great difference to balance.
