Also about vegetation, man knows that the law of sex is working in it. Procreation among the animals also is due to the combination between the male and the female. The coming together of the man and woman is the cause of man’s own birth.
Here again certain realities of daily experience have been mentioned and it is suggested that man observes these day and night but does not ponder over them seriously, whereas they contain signs and pointers to the reality. This is still another argument for Tauhid.
That is why it has been stated again and again in the Quran That Allah is free from and exalted far above those defects and faults and weaknesses which the mushriks ascribe to Him.ģ1. Had there been no such notions of ignorance about Allah in the minds, there could be no question of any idea of shirk in the world. Or, God forbid, Allah has the weaknesses of the worldly kings, due to which He is surrounded by an army of ministers, courtiers, flatterers and beloved princes or princesses, and thus many powers of Godhead have become divided among them. Or, some other beings are so powerful in themselves that they are interfering in God’s administration and God is putting up with their interference. When a person says that Allah has an associate, he in fact, thinks that either Allah is incapable of running and ruling His Kingdom alone, or He is under compulsion to make another His associate in His work. The Quran has generally used these words when refuting polytheistic beliefs, because every belief of shirk is, in fact, an imputation of some defect, some weakness and some fault to Allah. Glory be to Him: He is free from every defect and fault, from every error and weakness, and that another one should be His associate and partner in His work. (36:36) Holy is He Who created all things in pairs, whether it be of what the earth produces, and of themselves, and of what they do not know.
