45 Preface وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوجَينِ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنثىٰYusuf AliThat He did create in pairs,- male and female,1The seventh aphorism relates to the mystery of sex: all things are created in pairs: each sex performs its proper function, and yet its wonderful working is part of the creative process of God: the living seed fructifies, but contains within itself all the factors disclosed in its later development and life.
