walaikum salaam wrt,

the quran actually talks about how Allah created "nafsun wahidah" and from that came all men and women... this "nafsun wahidah" is usually translated as "one soul"

O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, Who created you from a single person (nafsin-
              waahidah), created, of like nature, his mate, and from them two scattered (like seeds)
              countless men and women--reverence Allah through Whom you demand your mutual
              (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (that bore you): for Allah ever watches over you....
              (Qur'an 4:1)

              It is He Who created you from a single person and made his mate of like nature, in order
              that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and
              carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah, their Lord
              (saying) "If You give us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful. (Qur'an 7:189)
