THE MIRACLE OF AL-QUR’AN (12)

(From Islamic Point of Views)
(Continuation from 09/19/2006)
iv Geography
The Rate of Rain

“That sends down (from time to time) rain from the sky in due measures; - and We raise to life therewith a land that is dead; even so will ye be raised (from the dead);” (QS, Al-Zukhruf 43: 11)

The science research has noted that around 16 millions tone of water had converted to the steam in one second. This numbers was calculated with amount 513 millions tone of water in a year had turn to the steam. This amount of water is same as the amount of rainfall within a year. This shows that there is an equal amount between the steam goes up to the sky and rainfall to the earth.
Al-Qur’an has explained about this aspect since 1400 years ago.

v. Oceanology
a) Ocean

“He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together: (19), Between them is a Barrier which day do not transgress, (20)” (Ar-Rahman 55: 19-20)
The latest research of the science has proven that the water from Mediterranean Ocean that flowed to the Atlantic sea is not mixed. The salty rate is different. The Mediterranean water is salty rather than the Atlantic re. About 1000m3 the water from the Mediterranean has flow into the Atlantic sea but it still mot mixed, even the giant wave can’t make it combine. QS, Surah Al-Furqaan, 25:53, states as :
“It is He Who has left 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.”[1]
Maybe we had asking that, why Al-Qura’an had said about the divided of the sea? For this we will answer that it is to differentiate which one is the plain water and the sea water, which is have a pycnocline zone that mixed with this both water to make a signs of it differences. This zone doesn’t appear in these two waters.
This is the latest finding and it has said to Muhammad in Al-Qur’an since 1400 years ago.
________________________________________________________
[1] In overall scheme of things, bodies of salt and sweet water, which are adjoining and yet separate, have significant functions. Weaving a harmonious fabric out of these different fibers shows both god’s power and wisdom. Incidentally, this verse point to a fact which has only recently been discovered by science. This fact relates to the ocean of the world; they meet and yet each remains separate for God pleased “a barrier, a partition” between them. (Ed) (3112)
