In Quran, Adam is told every single name for all the animals on the earth before any other creature in the Bible. Adam is given the opportunity to name all of the animals in both stories by the end. Adam is clear there is no companion for him, amongst all these creatures. What is not clearly written is whether or not creator knew that before Adam knew in that place for me. There is a space to imagine that as we learn new things about ourselves and our needs. Soldiers our Creator. Many of us are used to playing small in spiritual spaces, because we have been taught that maybe we didn't know the rules, or asking for what we needed was seen as disruptive or the very folks charged to take care of our spirits were merely lining their pockets, without a care in the world for our actual well being. It took me many years to know, understand and internalize that I, in all myself as a black trans multifaith Christian, Muslim, being deserve a spiritual practice that cares less about religious rules to hold on to power, and more about my liberation.
