Harun Yahya
There are antimatter equivalents of all the basic particles in the universe.
Antimatters possess the same mass but carry opposite charges. For that
reason, when matter and antimatter make contact they disappear by turning
into energy.
In the same way, fruits, are of two types: male or female. As the
Qur'an proclaims:
He stretched out Earth and placed firmly embedded mountains and
rivers in it, and made two types [male and female] of every kind of
fruit. He covers over day with night. There are signs in that for people
who reflect. (Qur'an, 13:3)
The word "zawjayni," translated as "two types," comes from "zawj,"
meaning "one of a pair." As we know, fruits are the final product pro-
duced by ripening plants. The stage before fruit is the flower. Flowers
also have male and female organs. When pollen is carried to the flower
and fertilization takes place, they begin to bear fruit. The fruit gradual-
ly ripens and starts to release seeds. The fact that fruits have gender-
specific features is another piece of scientific information indicated in
the Qur'an.
