    Default Twin Flames in Islam

    The marital status is specifically mentioned in the first page of the Quran: “O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women.” (4:1) Notice how here God creates the first man’s wife from him. From which we can infer that she had been created at the same time as her husband, by the same act of creation, and that her subsequent “creation” was really just the split of the androgynous being.

    Ibn Hazm cites a similar verse from the Quran in the “Of the Nature of Love” speech from his The Ring of the Dove; one that says: “It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her.” (7:189) He quotes it in support of his thesis in which he argues that couples who get together in this world, are often compelled to do so by a cosmic law: the law that determines all things tend to pair up with what is similar to themselves. A similarity that, in the case of human couples, corresponds to their souls’ common descent from the superior soul they formed before being split in half.

    In “Of the Nature of Love”, Ibn Hazm of Cordoba writes: “For my part I consider Love as a conjunction between scattered parts of souls that have become divided in this physical universe, a union effected within the substance of their original sublime element... an affinity of their vital forces in the supernal world, which is their everlasting home, and a close approximation in the manner of their constitution.” Al–Mas‘udi, another Arabic wise man, contemporary of Ibn Hazm, regales us with yet another example of the same belief when, alluding to his beloved, he proclaims: “My soul was bound to hers before we were created.” And a Sufi sage (a sage who adheres to Sufism, the biggest strand on the “reverse side” of Islam), the Persian Ruzbihan Baqli of Shiraz will, one century later, express an identical conviction in his treatise on mystical love Jasmine of the Fedeli d’Amore (The Jasmine of the Love’s Faithful) when he writes “The holy spirits, in their homeland, in the highest of divine cities, contemplated each other... In this mutual contemplation, they saw the divine traces imbued in their being. Under the spell of this beauty, they united in matrimony, each couple associating according to their degree of affinity. When they came to this world, again they saw each other with the same eyes, in proportion... to the closeness of one soul with another. Under the light of physiognomy, they recognised each other, and mutually experienced love.”
    My soul is from elsewhere
