Divine and Scientific Discourse on Creation in Pairs: A Study in the Context of the Qur’ān & Science

Abstract

This paper presents an analytical study of both the Qur’ānic and natural science’s discourse on the fact of “creation in pairs” to enhance understanding of the origins of living beings. The primary focus is on the Qur’ānic viewpoint, which not only provide insight into the creation of the world but also illuminates the pervasive nature of pairing in the universe. A Scientific discussion is included to explore how contemporary research on the subject matter supports this concept, addressing the often-perceived gap between science and Islam. Ayahs from the Holy Qur’an on creation in pairs are cited to illustrate the context and purpose of these verses and their relation to the studies of the subject in natural sciences. This will further bridge the gap between the two discourse, helping to understand the extent to which scientific research aligns with the topic.
