3Do you not see how night and day follow one another in perfect order? By Allah, the possessor of boundless power, who created all living things in pairs, female and male: your Lord created you so that you would live in keeping with the order of life and the morality to which He invites you. Why, then, do you associate partners with Allah, who has bestowed countless blessings on you?
