Day 13, Answer 13, #AyahLookup  Challenge:

(original question here: https://quranreflect.com/posts/23093#comments) 

Surat Al Raad mentions many pairs and entities that belong to this huge kingdom of Allah, 
and reminds us that our creator controls ALL OF THEM, despite them being opposites to one another. 
The day, and the night 
the sun, and the moon, 

These pairs do exist in human behaviors and choices,
The right, and the wrong, 
Even when we choose to do good, this could be done in secret, or in public, 

There are 32 pairs that exist in Surah 13, can you find them? we asked this question and got beautiful reflections

Safiyya Ihsan wrote: 

'Using your prompt I tried scouting for some pairs and was able to fish out the following: Night and day, male and female, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, angels before and behind, hope and fear, rain and thunder, heaven and earth, truth and falsehood, jannah and jahannam, darkness and light, blindness and sight.
The ayahs that resonated with me for tying these pairs together are verses 2-3 & 11.
Verses 2-3: It is Allah Who has raised the heavens without pillars- as you can see- then established Himself on the Throne. He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He conducts the whole affair. He makes the signs clear so that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord. And He is the One Who spread out the earth and placed firm mountains and rivers upon it, and created fruits of every kind in pairs. He covers the day with night. Surely in this are signs for those who reflect.
Verse 11: For each one there are successive angels before
and behind, protecting them by Allah's command. Indeed, ***Allah would never change a people's state of favour until they change their own state of faith.*** And if it is Allah's Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him.'
