Abstract:

In this article, it was examined that who are meant by the concept of a “single soul” and “mate” in this Qur'anic verse that pointing to the first creation of man: “He it is who did create you from a single soul, and therefrom did make his mate that he might take rest in her” (A’raf, 7/189). If the meaning of “single soul” and “mate” had been Adam and his mate Eve it would have also said that these couples fall into shirk. Because the next verse is as follows: “But when He gave unto them aright, they ascribed unto Him partners in respect of that which He had given them” (A’raf, 7/190). According to some, this is a remote possibility for Adam and Eve, but the others may argue based on the hadiths that Adam and Eve fall into shirk. We try to uncover as hard as we can go what Allah want to say in this verses taking into account hadiths on these verses, the concepts in these verses, revelation of the Qur’an about these verses and comments on this verses in the commentary in various fields.
