Quran 51:49 – 'And Of All Things Two Types'
Can the pairing of all things be referring to perception/subjectivity? For example each thing in existence from a Quranic point of view could be serving either of the two purposes for the observer or the subject experiencing it. Either it is taking them closer to God or away from Him. Either it is serving as a means of reward or punishment. For example: the same wind can be a source of mercy or can be a means to destroy a nation. All things from their perception to usage to interpretation seem to be serving either of the two purposes. Wallahu Aalam. Could this explanation work or is it too far fetched?
