3981 The mystery of sex runs through all creation,-in man, in animal life, in vegetable life, and possibly in other things of which we have no knowledge. Then there are pairs of opposite forces in nature, e.g., positive and negative electricity, etc. The atom itself consists of a positively charged nucleus or proton, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The constitution of matter itself is thus referred to pairs of opposite energies. (36.36)

51:49 - And of everything We have created pairs:

55:14 - He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery,

55:15 - And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke:

NOTE: 5181 - See n.1966 to 15:26. The creation of men and jinns is contrasted.

55:4 - He has taught him speech (and intelligence).

55:5 - The sun and the Moon follow courses (exactly) computed;

NOTE: 5205 - Here two Gardens are mentioned, and indeed four, counting the other two mentioned

in 55:62 -76. Opinions are divided about this, but the best opinion is that the two mentioned in verses

46-61 are for the degree of those Nearest to Allah (Muqarrabun), and those in verses 62-76 for the Companions of the Right Hand: Why two for each? The Duality is to express variety, and the whole scheme of the Surah runs in twos. There will be no dullness of uniformity: as our minds can conceive it now, there will be freshness in change, but it will be from Bliss to Bliss, and there will be Unity.
