MIRACLES OF THE QURAN: DARKNESS IN THE SEAS AND INTERNAL WAVES
Quran on the #internal_waves and #darknesses of #deep_seas discovered only in 2013
“Or (the unbelievers’ state) is like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. If he puts out his hand, he can scarcely see it. Those whom God gives no light to; they have no light.” (Quran, 24:40)
The general environment in deep seas is described in the book named Oceans:
The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light. Below a depth of 1000 meters, there is no light at all.

Today, we know about the general structure of the sea, the characteristics of the living things in it, its salinity, as well as the amount of water it contains, its surface area and depth. Submarines and special equipment, developed with modern technology, enable scientists to obtain this information.
Human beings are not able to dive more than 40 meters down without the aid of special equipment. They cannot survive unaided in the deep, dark parts of the oceans, such as at a depth of 200 meters. For these reasons, scientists have only recently been able to discover these detailed pieces of information about seas. However, the statement of “darkness in a deep sea” was used in Sura Nur 1,400 years ago. It is certainly one of the miracles of the Qur’an that such information was given at a time where no equipment to enable man to dive into the depths of the oceans was available.
In addition, the statement in verse 40 of Sura Nur “…like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds…” draws our attention to another miracle of the Qur’an.
Scientists have recently discovered that there are internal waves, which “occur on density interfaces between layers of different densities.” These internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and oceans because deep water has a higher density than the water above it. Internal waves act like surface waves. They can break, just like surface waves. Internal waves cannot be seen by the human eye, but they can be detected by studying temperature or salinity changes at a given location. ……

The statements in the Qur’an run absolutely parallel to the above explanation. Without research, one can only see the waves on the surface of the sea. It is impossible for one to know about the internal waves beneath the sea. Yet, in Sura Nur, God draws our attention to another type of wave that occurs in the depths of the oceans. Certainly, this fact, which scientists have discovered very recently, shows once again that the Qur’an is the word of God.

⚘Quran on the #internal_waves and #darknesses of #deep_seas discovered only in 2013
Amazing scientific facts on seas with proofs from Science.
Quran talks about how the disbeliever lives in this worldly life.. in darkness but at the same time talks about Bioluminoscent fish about the deep internal waves discovered lately by oceanography marine scientists.
(2013 British telegraph) and about the darknesses one above the other.
Quran says:
((Or [they are] like darknesses within a vast deep sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds – darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light – for him there is no light.))
▪︎Surat Nur/ Light. 24:40

The Quran on Seas and Rivers:
Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density.1 For example, Mediterranean sea water is warm, saline, and less dense, compared to Atlantic ocean water. When Mediterranean sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1000 meters with its own warm, saline, and less dense characteristics. The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth
Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.
The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God has said:
He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress. (Quran, 55:19-20)
But when the Quran speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of “a forbidding partition” with the barrier. God has said in the Quran:
He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. (Quran, 25:53)
One may ask, why did the Quran mention the partition when speaking about the divider between fresh and salt water, but did not mention it when speaking about the divider between the two seas?
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a “pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers.”
This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water4 (see the enclosed figures)
This information has been discovered only recently, using advanced equipment to measure temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility, etc. The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise, the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: fresh water, salt water, and the partition (zone of separation).
Another marine science fact mentioned in the noble Quran.

من أخبر نبينا بهذه الأسماك التي ترى بظاهرة الضوء الحيوي غير الله جل جلاله.. (للعربية تابع اسفله)
Who told prophet Muhammad about Bioluminoscent fish / and the internal waves discovered only in 2010 except Allah.

من معجزات القران الكريم المبهرة في علم البحار.
تحدث القران العظيم عن ظاهرة في أعماق البحار. إنها أسماك Bioluminoscent fish البشعة المنظر والتي لها اضاءة حيوية من قدرة الله عز وجل. وتكلم القران بشكل معجز عن ظلمات البحار العميقة وعن الأمواج الداخلية العميقة.
إليكم الأدلة من الكتب العلمية الحديثة في علم البحار وجرائد عالمية كالتلكراف
قال تعالى
((أو كظلمات في بحر لجيّ يغشاه موج من فوقه موج من فوقه سحاب ظلمات بعضها فوق بعض إذا أخرج يده لم يكد يراها ومن لم يجعل الله له نورا فما له من نور))
سورة النور. الاية 40
ايضا تم اكتشاف الأمواج الداخلية بالأقمار الاصطناعية و لأول مرة عام 2013 كما نشرت ذلك التلكراف البريطانية وفي نفس الاية يذكر الله سبحانه وتعالى أن من لم يجعل الله له نورا تحت ظلمات البحار العميقة فما له من نور
فسبحان الله وبحمده
As the Mediterranean Outflow water leaves the sea, it flows over a sudden rise in the sea floor, generating a series of internal waves, which can be seen in this image from radar instruments aboard the European Space Agency’s Envisat satellite. The images were taken August 12 2010, October 1 2009 and August 27 2009 over the same area. The colors are the result of changes in the surface between photographs.
Internal waves are not easily visible to observers because they do not cause large waves to appear; instead, they create a horizontal surface current, which affects the roughness of the surface of the sea. From space, internal waves can be detected very efficiently using this radar technique, which is sensitive to changes in the small-scale surface roughness of the ocean.
Internal waves in this image show up as a semi-circular rippled pattern east of the strait’s entrance in the Mediterranean Sea. Additional sets of internal waves generated in the Atlantic Ocean are visible as dark pink lines on the western side of the strait.
The strait is the only connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea , and hundreds of vessels pass through it daily, making it one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. The main shipping lanes can be seen through the concentration of ships -colorful points- in distinct channels.
Several cities are visible in Spain (all as patches of light green) in the image, including the British oversees territory of Gibraltar (semi-circle at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar), Malaga (on the coast about 62 miles, or 100 kilometers, east of Gibraltar), Granada (northeast of Malaga) and Seville (left of center top).
