Oceanology in the Quran – Dr Zakir Naik

QMS-13

In the subject of Oceanology, there is a verse in the Qur’an in Surah Furqaan, Chapter.No.25, Verse.No.53, which says that,
“It is Allah (swt) who has let free two bodies of flowing water: one sweet and palatable and the other salty and bitter; though they meet, they do not mix there’s a barrier which is forbidden to be trespassed.”
The same message is repeated in Surah Rahman, Chapter.No.55, Verse. No.19-20
“Marajal Bahraini yaltaqiyaan”
that
“We have left free two bodies of flowing water though they meet, they do not mix there is a barrier, there is a barzakh which is forbidden to be trespassed.”
When the commentators of the Qur’an, when they tried to understand this verse, all of us know very well & we knew it earlier also that there are two types of waters sweet & salty. But they could not understand the verse of the Qur’an which says that there are two types of water, sweet and salty, though they meet they do not mix. There is a barrier which is forbidden to be trespassed. There is a ‘Barzakh’.
The ‘Mufassireens’ the commentators could not understand what did it mean. Today after science has advanced we have come to know that whenever one type of water flows into the other type of water. Sweet water flows into the salty water; it looses its constituents and gets homogenized into the water it flows. This transitional homogenizing area according to the Qur’an is called as the ‘Barzakh’. It’s an unseen barrier. And this has been testified and verified when this verse of the Qur’an was showed to Professor Hay who’s a very famous marine scientist and a professor in Oceanology in the University of Colorado, USA. And he said that what the Qur’an mentions 1400 years ago has been testified by science recently. And this phenomena can be seen even with the naked eye at the Cape Point, the southern most tip of Cape Town, in South Africa – where one type of the water flows into the other type, we even see that the colors of both these waters differ.
Another good example is in Egypt, when river Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea. And the best example is the Gulf stream , it flows for thousands of miles it starts from the gulf of Mexico and goes to the east side of North America, travels upwards then goes eastwards and travels to the west coast of Europe. It flows for thousands of miles but yet the two waters are distinct and if you’re traveling in a ship towards the extreme of the Gulf stream and pick up, take a bucket of water from the left side and a bucket of water from the right side you will find that one is sweet & the other is salty. Even the temperature between the two, they differ. Imagine Qur’an speaks about this phenomena 1400 years ago.
