Allah Shows His Signs

[In these verses Allah want us to know that He Shows His Signs but only those who reflect will understand them.]

  سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
41:53 – “Sanureehim ayatina fil afaqi wa fee anfusihim hatta yatabayyana lahum annahu alhaqqu, awalam yakfi birabbika annahu ‘ala kulli shayin shaheed.”(Surat al Fussilat)

“We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in themselves,
until it will become manifest to them that it is the truth….” (Holy Quran, Explained in Detail 41:53)

  وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً مِّنْهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لَّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

45:13 – “Wa sakhkhara lakum ma fis Samawati wa ma fil Ardi jamee’an minhu, inna fee dhalika la ayatin liqawmin yatafakkaron.”  (Surat al Jathiya)

“And He has subjected to you [Sayyidina Mahmood (saws)], as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect [Contemplate and Meditate].” ( Holy Quran, The Crouching, 45:13)

In these verses Allah is giving a compelling sign of His Power by constructing that which is unimaginable in the realm of human experience.

مَرَ‌جَ الْبَحْرَ‌يْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ ﴿١٩  بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْ‌زَخٌ لَّا يَبْغِيَانِ ﴿٢٠  فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَ‌بِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ﴿٢١

55:19-21 – “Maraja al bahrayni yaltaqiyan. (19) Bayna huma barzakhun la yabghiyan.(20) Fabi ayyi alayi Rabbikuma tukadhdhiban“(21) (Surat ar Rahman)

“He has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) they meet together. (19)
Between them is a barrier which they cannot pass. (20)
So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?(21)

Reality of La ilaha Ila Allah Muhammadun RasulAllah

These verses refer to two bodies of Water One salty and One Sweet water which meet, but do not transgress, or mix together. The two bodies of water have between them a barrier (Barzakh, isthmus).

A cup of salt water and a cup of sugar water will mix together when poured into a container. Two cups of salt water will mix together very easily when combined as they contain the same solute. Yet this verse of the Qur’an says that the two bodies of salt water do not mix.

The Prophet (saws) is describing a barrier, like the border of a country, which neither body of water can encroach upon or transgress. One would expect a huge body of water like the Atlantic Ocean to overrun the much smaller Mediterranean Sea, yet researchers have found that their waters do not mix.

[Prophet (saws) is Teaching that I was Created by Allah’s Light and all creation created from my light.
3 Lights of creation and secrets of Rajab – Month of Allah, Sha’ban – month of Prophet (saws), and Ramadan -Month of Creation.]

The waters of one body of water do not mix with the other, nor do the fish of the Atlantic Ocean crosses into the Mediterranean and vice versa. If a fish from one body of water is put into the other, it will become ill. The water of each ocean does not cross the invisible border between them, rather when they come to the barrier they descend and go back, not crossing.

No doubt there are rare cases of fish crossing between the two oceans, but not generally just as diplomats of different nations cross each others borders, but not the common citizens.

As we noted above, Allah  has declared that He will make His signs manifest. Allah says He will show them His signs in themselves, meaning here on earth.

  سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
41:53 – “Sanureehim ayatina fil afaqi wa fee anfusihim hatta yatabayyana lahum annahu alhaqqu, awalam yakfi birabbika annahu ‘ala kulli shayin shaheed.”(Surat al Fussilat)

We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in themselves,
until it will become manifest to them that it is the truth…. (Holy Quran, Explained in Detail 41:53)

Reality of Barzakh

In another verse, Allah  mentions the barrier between a body of salt water and a body of fresh water. In addition to the barrier (Barzakh) mentioned above, Allah describes something akin to a quarantine area.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخاً وَحِجْراً مَّحْجُوراً

25:53 “Wa huwal ladhee marajal bahrayni hadha ‘athbun furatun wa hadha milhun ojajun wa ja’ala bayna huma barzakhan wa hijran mahjora.” (Surat al-Furqan)

“And it is He Who has let free the two seas to flow: One palatable and sweet, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made a barrier between them and an area forbidden (to pass) and isolated.”  (Holy Quran 25:53)

[Fish Represents The Souls That Swim in the Oceans of Mercy ]

Fresh water is found in smaller bodies of water such as rivers or lakes, while the large oceans and seas are all salty. Although the enormous salty oceans could easily overrun the sweet freshwater of rivers, for some reason they cannot encroach on the rivers and the two waters do not pass the barrier between them.

The salt water fish do not go into the fresh water river and the same is true for the fresh water fish; neither can survive in the environment of the other as was mentioned also for the two bodies of salt water.

The case of salmon and steel-head trout, which are conceived and born in fresh water and then spend most of their life in the oceans only to return to their place of birth to mate and die, are exceptions whose rarity and uniqueness only go to prove the rule.

In Surat al-Furqan, Allah  mentions that in addition to the barrier (Barzakh), (which is also mentioned in Surat ar-Rahman), there is a Hijran Mahjura
حِجْراً مَّحْجُوراً which means a completely separated area, partitioned off and inaccessible.

Reality of ABD عبد

Hijran Mahjura  is an affirmation of absolute isolation such as in a quarantine. Quarantines are needed to separate and protect people from dangerous elements such as infection or violence.

There is also a quarantine area for the fish between the fresh and salt waters. At the point where the fresh water river or waterfall meets the sea water, the fresh water moves down. At that point there is a distinct area which is neither fresh water nor salt water and is off limits to both.

It descends in a cylindrical fashion and has its own specific species of fish which can survive in it. Neither the fresh water fish nor the salt water fish can survive in this quarantine area. It is a mixture of fresh and salty water and sustains only its own variety of fish.

The fish in this quarantine area also are unable to cross into either the fresh water or the salt water, or else they will perish. Fourteen hundred years ago the Holy Prophet (saws) alluded to these phenomena which were only discovered and understood centuries later by modern scientists.
