Why the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Don't Mix? Miracles of Quran | 6 |

Описание: "He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together: Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress:" (Surah a-rRahman 19-20)

The expression of the verse has a mind-blowing style. For, the verse informs us that the seas do not mingle with one another despite all storms and huge waves.

Yes, science confirms the verses of the Qur'an as it always has been and proves that it is the word of Allah. It is as follows:

The French marine scientist Captain Jacques Cousteau, who is famous for underwater research, explains the results of his investigations about water barriers as follows:

This amazing fact, which amazed Captain Cousteau, about the waters that do not mix up though seas converge is explained with the following verse in the Qur'an fourteen centuries ago: "He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together. Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress." (Surah ar-Rahman 19-20)

Another kind of water barrier on earth is seen at bays and deltas where the fresh water rivers flow into the seas. Rivers that have the utmost possibility of mixing into one another because of their surface and bottom currents never mix up with salty water in places where they fall into seas. If Allah did not put the law of not mixing up between these two waters, the fresh water rivers on earth would mix up with the salty sea water and the living creatures in them and in their environments would be annihilated all together.

The Qur'an attracts attention to the miracle of this not mixing of these fresh and salty waters in another verse as follows:

"It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: one palatable and sweet and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed." (Surah al-Furqan: 53)

Yes, the fact that the seas do not mix up with each other and the fresh water rivers do not mix up with salty waters shows the infinite power of Allah; its being expressed 1400 years ago in the Qur'an proves that the Qur'an is the word of Allah. For, it is impossible to base this information on a man's personal discovery who lived at that age; it is also impossible to base it on all people's discovery who lived at that age. It is impossible for a man to discover and write a truth that science has discovered only in this age on his own fourteen centuries ago.

Then, the Qur'an cannot be the word of man. It is the pre-eternal word of Allah, who is the creator of lands and skies.


{And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water): this is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter; and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them.} [Quran 25:53] The meaning of this verse is that Allaah The Almighty, with His Power and Strength has set the two seas close and adjacent to each other so that they collide with one another, yet they do not combine. The water of one is palatable, sweet and fresh and quenches thirst, while the other is salt and with a strong concentration of saltiness, making it almost bitter. Allaah The Almighty has set a barrier between them, with His might so that one body of water does not mix or overtake the other, enabling a complete partition and avoiding any blending between them.

Furthermore, there are many verses mentioned in the Quran that are relevant to this discussion, such as, when Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):

There have been many investigations about this matter by Muslim scholars, including Shaykh Abdul Majeed az-Zindani and Dr. Tariq al-Suwaidaan. Dr.Tariq al-Suwaidaan mentions in a speech about the miracles of the Holy Quran that this matter was kept undisclosed (i.e. the barrier between the two seas), with people being unaware of the truth about its purpose, until the year 1873 C.E. Thereafter, an English expedition by the name 'Challenger', was able to investigate the structural molecules of the two types of water and found that there were lines separating the two seas that could not be recognized by the naked eye. They also discovered that if you took a sample from both types of water and analyzed it, you would find differences in the structures, salt concentration and density. Furthermore, they even found differences in the marine life of the two seas, without the presence of a visible barrier. Hence, it is not an imaginary partition or a fanciful myth as some say; it is a reality.

Who taught this to Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) a person who had never sailed across seas? Who spoke about this isthmus in the Holy Quran, and the barrier that cannot be seen by the naked eye? Indeed, it is Allaah, the One, Who Says (what means): {We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. …} [Quran 41:53]
