If you have ever looked at the view from an airplane window and marvelled at how two differently-coloured water bodies meet and yet stay separate, you need to see this video. The Quran mentioned the barrier between sweet and salty water 1400 years ago, but modern scientists have only recently discovered that truly, a barrier does indeed exist.
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.
(Principles of Oceanography - Davis, pp. 92-93)
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 1,000 meters with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics. The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth (Principles of Oceanography p. 93).
The Mediterranean sea water as it enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics, because of the barrier that distinguishes between them. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (C).
Even in depths (indicated here by darker colors) up to 1,400 meters and at distances ranging from a minus -100 to +2,500 meters, we find that both bodies of water maintain their individual temperatures and salinity.
Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.
The Holy Qur'an mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God said:
{He has let free the two seas meeting to gather. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress.} (Qur'an 55:19-20)
But when the Qur'an speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of "a forbidding partition" with the barrier. God said in the Qur'an:
{He is the one who has let free the two bodies of flowing water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition.} (Qur'an 25:53)
One may ask, why did the Qur'an 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." (Oceanography p. 242)
This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water (Oceanography p. 244 and Introductory Oceanography pp. 300-301)
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: the fresh water, the salt water, the partition (zone of separation).
And which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?

A Difficult Life?
Assalamualaikum,
A few days ago, my local newspaper ran a column by a popular author promoting his new book. The book was mainly about why God can not exist. Because if He did, people would not suffer. The author wrote how his son was born handicapped, and this experience made him come to the conclusion that there is no God.
Astaghfirullah. (May Allah forgive us.)
This is the most common argument we'll hear atheists say: "If God is all-Loving, why does He not prevent atrocities in the world?","How can people be poor and hungry, and so many wars take place, and God just calmly watches?" In other words, they conclude that Difficulties = No God.
Is that a rational argument? Is God just some Cure-All for all our sufferings and worries?
One of the greatest attributes of Allah is Wisdom. One of His names is "Al-Hakeem", or The Most Wise. This means that whatever Allah creates, He creates for a reason, and nothing is created in vain. Allah says to us in the Quran:
“Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?”
So Exalted be Allaah, the True King: Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!” [Al-Mu'minoon 23: 115, 116]
And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56]
So if we all exist to only serve one purpose, ie. to worship God and to obey His Will, do we have any right to complain when punishments happen to us as a result of us falling short of that command? We've been given the perfect way to live our lives - on a personal level, familial level, societal level and universal level. There is no aspect of our life which God has not given us instructions for. We have things laid out for us straight - what to follow, and what to avoid. All we have to do is listen to the rules, obey them, not stray out of line or be out of bounds. That's it. I know its easier said than done, but when we as mere petty humans stray from what we're supposed to be doing, bad things may happen to us. In brief, punishments happen because:
1. We deserve it because of our sins.
2. God is testing our faith. Like a diamond roughed out and polished from coal, trials have the potential to bring out the best in us, and bring us to our highest nature.
3. A blessing may be hidden in a calamity. We just don't know since God works in miraculous ways, and it may be that we like a thing which is bad for us, or we dislike a thing which is good for us. Usually something good always comes out of a calamity - we just don't see it.
Strangely enough, people see punishments as just that - punishments. Something bad, something we don't like, something we need to get away from. Psychologists, on the other hand, term punishments as 'negative reinforcements.' But we only see the negative side of what befalls us. And we fail to realize that this is just another form of discipline from God, a reinforcement; that we're supposed to reflect, learn from our mistakes, and correct our behaviour so as not to have the same thing happen to us again.
Doesn't a parent use punishments to control the behaviour of a child, save him or her from harm, teach him to only follow certain behaviour whilst avoiding things which may be harmful to them? Doesn't a classroom teacher punish students to teach them proper discipline and the value of hard work? Would it make sense if I'm sitting in a classroom, and the teacher is scolding me because I didn't do my homework, but I just say there isn't a teacher there? People would say that's nonsensical! And yet, people deny God's existence for the same reasons. I mean, rewarding good behaviour and punishing bad behaviour is such an essential fundamental to learning. Even the overly commercialized Santa Claus, a mere fairytale portrayed as a generous, kind hearted guy brings presents to the good and a lump of coal to the naughty kids, right?
So why is it then, that when God uses punishments to discipline human beings and tries to bring us back to the right path, we turn our back on Him and negate His existence? Shouldn't the same rules apply?
God's attribute of being All-Loving does not mean He lets human beings run amok without any form of discipline, letting them eat, drink and be merry without a care in the world. That is not love, its irresponsibility - and thankfully, God is not irresponsible!
This is God we are talking about. God, the Most High, the One who created us out of nothing wants to let us reflect on our life's priorities, and to humble ourselves before Him. He wants what is best for us. He doesn't need us or our worship in the slightest. And yet, we need Him. We need Him every second of our lifetime. And even if it takes a punishment for us to fumble and find the straight path again, to earn His Pleasure, is it really that bad? Maybe we deserved it; maybe it's a trial to test our strength and our faith; or maybe we just can't see the good in it. But a punishment does not, in the slightest, mean that God does not exist - because only the Most Caring would put us through hardships for our own sakes.
Does it still make sense to say that just because bad things happen in the world, there is no God?

The Best Thing About Islam?
Assalamualaikum, how is everyone today?
Here are a few things which muslims say is the best thing about their religion:
* The perfection in defining how to live life
* The beauty of the Quran and its teachings
* It gives humankind a bond of brotherhood and unity, no matter what their race or color, our religion gives us a common ground
* How it all makes perfect sense
* It brings out the "Human Being" out of a man or a woman
* Waking up early morning at dawn and praying the morning prayer freshens and energizes our mind, and prepares us for the day ahead. It assures we have a good day, day after day, since our heart and mind start off with a good mood
* It is so simple to practice, and rids you of confusion
* It's the only Truth in a world full of Lies. We are the light in the darkness
* Our religion tells us exactly how to live regarding every single facet of our lives. Can anyone come up with a better way to live?
* Islam not only teaches us *What* we must do to attain a perfect life, but *How* to do it. It not only preaches good things, but it actually tells us how to achieve that state of goodness. By the example of our Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him), it has been practically demonstrated to us how to achieve that state. For example, others may say 'help the poor' but they fail to state how to help, how much to give, and what happens if we don't. But Islam goes ahead and tells us not only to help, but exactly how to go about doing it - it puts the duty of zakat (charity) on every Muslim who has wealth above a certain level, tells us to pay an exact 2.5% of that wealth to the poor, describes the rights/obligations, categorizes the people who are to receive that charity, and even tells us the consequences of not paying this money. It is the only solution to poverty. And this is just one solution to society's problems. Islam is chalkfull of examples of how to lead the perfect life.
* It gives your life a purpose, and a direction

The Prophet's Final Sermon
This is the final speech given to the muslims by the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
After praising, and thanking God, the Prophet, may God send His praises upon him said:
“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. God has Judged that there shall be no interest, and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn Abd’al Muttalib shall henceforth be waived...
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under a trust from God and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship God, perform your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and offer Zakat. Perform Hajj if you have the means.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; white has no superiority over black, nor does a black have any superiority over white; [none have superiority over another] except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before God and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me, and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O people, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah, and if you follow these you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and it may be that the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people.”
Thus the beloved Prophet completed his Final Sermon, and upon it, near the summit of Arafat, the revelation came down:
“…This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My Grace upon you, and have chosen Islam for you as your religion…” (Quran 5:3)
After praising, and thanking God, the Prophet, may God send His praises upon him said:
“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
