305. Barrier between the seas.
Verses (27:61, 35:12, 55:19,20) of the Quran speak of an invisible barrier between two seas, that prevents the water from one mixing with the other. Scientists have now discovered the barrier in between two seas, after several attempts and trials. The Quran had disclosed the same several centuries ago.
The Mediterranean and The Black Sea were separated by a land mass. The two merged about 12,000 years ago during a deluge. Because of the variance in the density of the two types of sea water, the dense water of one sea sinks down to a lower level and the less dense water stayed above at a higher level for a height of 200 meters above, and continues to remain so for a period of more than 12.000 years without mixing into each other. The Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean though adjacent, display a difference in the color and density of the water and both the waters do not get mixed.
Similarly the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean though adjacent to each other, do not get mixed, and with the waters of the Mediterranean being a little more warmer and more dense than the waters of the Atlantic, stays above the other, exerting a good deal of pressure spread in layers over a distance of about 100 miles.
‘The Holy Quran’ in its verse 25:53, while talking about soft water being mixed with sea water says “ We have created a screen and a strong barrier in between the two”
We find a great scientific truth in the verses of the Quran where it announces about the presence of a single barrier between two seas and and two barriers separating the soft water from the sea water.
There is a great scientific truth as follows:-
When water from a river enters the sea a barrier in the form of density separates both the waters, and in addition a new barrier is formed with the salt water and soft water together forming this. This fact was revealed by Prophet Muhammad an illiterate forteen hundredyears ago, proving the Quran is the word of God.
Hence this is yet another evidence to assert that Quran is indeed the ‘Word of God’.
