ٱلذَّارِيَات : ٤٩

  • وَمِن And of
  • كُلِّ every
  • شَيۡءٍ thing
  • خَلَقۡنَا We have created
  • زَوۡجَيۡنِ pairs
  • لَعَلَّكُمۡ so that you may
  • تَذَكَّرُونَ remember
And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.
And of all things (wa-min kulli shay'in is semantically connected to His [following] words khalaqnaa) We created pairs, two kinds, such as male and female, sky and earth, sun and moon, plain and mountain, summer and winter, sweet and bitter, light and darkness, that perhaps you might remember (tadhakkaroona: one of the two original taa' letters [of tatadhakkaroona] has been omitted), and hence realise that the Creator of pairs is [Himself] Singular, that you might then worship him.
