The Holy Quran 13:3 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى مَدَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنْهَـٰرًا ۖ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ ۖ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Translation

It is He Who spread the earth and placed mountains and rivers in it. He creates pairs from every type of fruit (and from everything else) and covers the day with the night. Indeed there are Aayaat (signs) in this for those people who ponder (reflect to understand Tauheed).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, the mountains which stand in one place and the rivers which flow constantly. Pairs of fruits: that is, small and large, sour and sweet, black and white, “hot” and “cold”; and according to modern research, male and female are also found in each [kind].
