Male and female pairs of mankind...

Male and female pairs of mankind, animals, and their species are not solely intended by “of everything” as some people might have surmised, but it encompasses all particles and contingent existent beings. It is even a proven fact that the constituent elements, termed prime matter (madat al-mawad) or element consists of two constituents at times termed positive and negative charges, male and female, and/or energy and matter.

In short, the blessed Verse is saying that all contingent existent beings are composite consisting of two things. Unity solely belongs to the Divine Essence of God Almighty Who is Free from parity, elements, or constituents and He is One in His Essence, to His Essence, and in His Essence: (“There is no god but Allah”). The blessed Verse indicates that all contingent existent beings consist of constituent elements and any composite being requires a maker; likewise, pairs are in need of each other.

Thus, contingent existent beings require the Necessary Being Whose Sacred Presence is devoid of composition, mate, partner, and equal. He is not in need of others in terms of Essence nor is He in need of aids in terms of Acts. Furthermore, the blessed Qur’anic Verse in question says “of all things,” namely “of all existent beings” which may refer to the fact that all things in the world consist of negative and positive particles.

Today, it is a proven fact that atoms consist of different particles including electrons, elementary particles with negative charge, and protons, those with positive charge.

Therefore, flee to Allah. Indeed, I am a plain warner to you from Him. 51. And associate not any other object of worship along with Allah. Indeed, I am a plain warner to you from Him. The phrase: “plain warner” (nadhir mubin) is repeated twice in these two blessed Verses.
