Two seas, one barrier

Let us contemplate a sign of Allah's power in nature.

۞وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَرَجَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞ وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَهُمَا بَرۡزَخٗا وَحِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا

And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.

Quran, Al-Furqaan 25:53

This verse invites us to observe creation. Allah mentions two seas that meet, one fresh and one salty. Yet they do not mix. He placed between them a barrier and a prohibition. This is a sign of His infinite power.

Today, we can meditate on this perfect order. Whenever we see water, let us remember that Allah maintains the balance of His creation. This strengthens our trust in Him and our gratitude.

Look at a glass of water and thank Allah for the sweetness of the water you drink.
