God be He exalted says: (He
has let loose the two seas meeting together, between them is a barrier
which none of them can transgress, Then which of the Blessings of your
Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?, Out of them both come out pearl
and coral, Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn
and men) deny?) [Surat Ar-Rahman, verses: 19-23].
The explanation of the verses:
The
holy verses talk about God's grace to us that He be exalted mixed the
two salty seas, as we find that there is a barrier between every two
salty seas and this barrier is an area which extends for several
kilometers. And God be He exalted told us that each of the two seas is
salty because pearl and coral come out of them and they aren't present
except in salty seas.
Thus the verses talk about a barrier between the two seas, so what do scientific facts and marine scientists say?
Scientific fact:
When
the scientists studied the area of the strait between the Red Sea and
the Indian Ocean, they have found that there is a separating area
between them and this area has specific characteristics, so each one of
the two seas has its own specific characteristics such as temperature,
salinity, density and the types of fish that live in it.
So the Red Sea has its own characteristics and the Indian Ocean
also has its own characteristics and there is a separating area between
them which is the strait's area where the two seas meet and mix
together. But despite of the passing of thousands of years, the
characteristics of each of the two seas remains as it is and this is
from God's graces to us.
A
picture that shows the area of the barrier between the mediterranean
Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and this region contributes in the balance of
the seas so as to prevent mixing and transgression, therefore God be He
exalted said: (He has let loose the two seas meeting together, between
them is a barrier which none of them can transgress, Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?).
The point of inimitability:
The
miracle in this verse is that it talks about a fact in marine science
that wasn't known except recently which is the strait's area and the
presence of this area prevents the transgression of one of the seas on
the other, therefore God be He exalted said: (Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?).
Also
no one was aware of this fact at the time of the descending of Quran,
therefore this verse is considered to be one of the verses of the
scientific miracles in the holy Quran.
