TEN THINGS ALLAH WON’T ASK

1… Allah (SWT) won’t ask what kind of car you drove;
He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.

2… Allah (SWT) won’t ask the square footage of your house;
He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3… Allah (SWT) won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet;
He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.

4… Allah (SWT) won’t ask what your highest salary was;
He’ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

5… Allah (SWT) won’t ask what your job title was;
He’ll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

6… Allah (SWT) won’t ask how many friends you had;
He’ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

7… Allah (SWT) won’t ask in what neighbourhood you lived,
He’ll ask how you treated your neighbours.

8… Allah (SWT) won’t ask about the colour of your skin;
He’ll ask about the content of your character.

9… Allah (SWT) won’t ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation;
He’ll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

10… Allah (SWT) won’t ask how many people you forwarded this to;
He’ll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.”

EVERY SOUL WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVEN HIS TINIEST DEED....so be careful...

ALLAH - THE ONLY CREATOR OF ENTIRE UNIVERSE

Allah is not the God of Muslims only. He is the God of all people and all creation. Just because people refer to God using different terms does not mean that they are different gods. Spanish people refer to God as "Dios" and French people refer to God as "Dieu", yet they are all the same God. Interestingly, most Arab Jews and Arab Christians refer to God as "Allah". And the word Allah in Arabic appears on the walls of many Arab churches. ‪

COPING WITH THE FEAR THAT OUR WORSHIP WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED

Dissatisfaction with our sincerity in worship and with our efforts for our faith is usually a good thing. It inspires us to greater efforts, deeper conviction, and a firmer resolve to please our Lord. It prevents us from being prideful and haughty and keeps us from looking down at others when we see their faults and shortcomings.

Sometimes, though, these feelings exceed their proper bounds and can turn destructive, especially if we start feeling that the worship that we are engaged in is not good enough to count; that Allah is not going to accept anything that we do. This can easily lead us down the dark road of despair, where we start to feel that we will never be forgiven and that we cannot hope to attain salvation.

Such feelings deprive us of the peace of mind, the tranquility, and the pleasure that we are supposed to find in worshipping our Lord. This can ultimately lead us to neglect our religious duties.

There are many reasons why we might suffer from these feelings. Sometimes, our distress is the result of our hearing well-intended but misguided exhortations from those who wish to encourage us to greater devotion in our worship. So often we are told how impossible it is to attain true sincerity and how difficult it is for us to work acts of righteousness that Allah will find acceptable.

We need to realize – and hold in our hearts with the greatest conviction – that Allah is merciful and that His mercy is vast. Indeed, He has promised his servants that He will reward them with the best of rewards.

Allah says: “So whoever does an atom’s weight of good shall see it.” [Sûrah al-Zalzalah: 7]

He says: “Whoever works any act of righteousness and has faith; his endeavor will not be rejected. We shall record it in his favor.” [Sûrah al-Anbiyâ’: 92]

Allah is most generous. Whenever He promises something, He fulfills His promise, but whenever He threatens something, He is quick to pardon.

We must consider how Allah so often in the Qur’ân speaks of His mercy. Indeed, when we read the Qur’ân, we need to contemplate on words like the following:

“But your Lord is most forgiving, full of mercy”[Sûrah al-Kahf: 58]

“My mercy encompasses all things” [Sûrah al-A?râf: 156]

“Say: Your Lord is a Lord of all-embracing mercy”[Sûrah ah-An?âm: 147]

This is very important, because sometimes pessimism about our worship arises as a result of some evil deed that we have committed. Satan takes this opportunity to whisper into our hearts that we do not deserve Allah’s mercy, causing us to despair. We must seek refuge with Allah from this deception and not succumb to it. Instead, we need to sincerely turn to Allah and beseech His forgiveness, confidence in the knowledge that Allah forgives all sins.

Allah says: “Say: O my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of Allah’s Mercy. Truly, Allah forgives all sins. Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Sûrah al-Zumar: 53]

There is no sin that He will not forgive except that of a person who dies on unrepentant polytheism.

Allah says: “Allah does not forgive that anyone should set up partners with Him, but he forgives anything less than that to whom He pleases.” [Sûrah al-Nisâ’: 48]

Allah loves those who turn to Him in repentance, and when His servant repents to Him, it pleases Him immensely. He says: “Allah loves those who turn much in repentance, and He loves those who purify themselves.” [Sûrah al-Baqarah: 222]

This should encourage us to ask for Allah’s grace, knowing that He loves us to do so.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant when he repents than one of you would be if he were to lose his mount while traveling in barren land while it was carrying his food and drink. Then, if he were to despair of finding it and went over to a tree and laid down in its shade and while sitting there in hopelessness of ever seeing it again, he sees it standing before him.” [Sahîh Muslim]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I swear by Him in whose hand is my soul. If it were not that you sinned, Allah would remove you and bring forth a people who would sin and then seek Allah’s forgiveness so He could forgive them.” [Sahîh Muslim]

We should turn to the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) and read therein about Allah’s forgiveness. We should remember how Allah forgave a prostitute – a woman who lived by selling her sexual favors – only on account of a small mercy that she showed to a dog. How then shall it be for someone who strives to do right?

We must hasten to good deeds with the optimism that our sincere deeds will be well received.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) relates to us that Allah says: “Whoever comes with a good deed will be given ten times its worth or more so, and whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed its worth or I will forgive it. Whoever draws near to me a handspan, I will come to him the extent of a forearm. Whoever draws near to me the length of a forearm, I will come to him the length of two outstretched arms. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him at speed. And whoever comes to me with the Earth’s weight in sin without associating anything with me, I will come to him with forgiveness of equal measure.” [Sahîh Muslim]

We must not despair. “And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, save those who are astray?” [Sûrah al-Hijr: 56]

Now here is something that we need to fear – for who among us wishes to be among those who are astray!

THANK YOU O! ALLAH

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,

 

Thank you, Allah, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible,

 

Thank you, Allah, that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,

 

Thank you O Allah,that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost,toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud;

 

Thank you,Allah, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times balanced,

 

Thank you, Allah, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous,

 

Thank you,Allah, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest,

 

Thank you, Allah, for life.

If we can pass this on to most people we know, it just might help a bit to make this world a better place to live in.

HOW TO WIN HEARTS

SMILE: 
It is the first arrow and the fastest of them all. It is like the salt for food. It is also regarded as a kind of worship and alms-giving as mentioned in Hadith "Smiling at your brother's face is as charity (Sadaqa)". Sahaabah reported about the Prophet (Peace be up on him) saying that they had never seen someone smile at the other's face more then as the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) used to do.

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) said: "Do not ever waste your good deeds, even by meeting your brother with a frowning face."  Your smile for your brother is sadaqah.[bukhari]

BE THE FIRST TO GREET:
This arrow is the one that lets you to be in the inner most depths of the others hearts. This arrow needs a skilful shooter. The needed skills are the hearty smile, the warm shaking of hands and the friendly welcoming to the other. Being successfully achieved, such kinds of skills are going to be rewarded, referring to the Hadith: "In greetings, the better is one who initiates greeting the other".  You will not enter Jannah until you have Imaan (firm faith) and you will not attain (complete) Imaan until you love one another. Shall I not show you something by doing which there will be love between you? Make salaam common amongst yourselves. (Sahih Muslim)

 

EXCHANGE PRESENTS: 
It has a strange charming affection that captivates all senses. Hence, exchanging presents and gifts in different occasions is a pleasant habit however gifts should be within one's tolerable expenses. Prophet (Peace be up on him) told us that giving presents increases love among Muslims. 
He said also: "Shaking hands removes hatred and exchanging presents enhances love and ends enmity." 

SPEAK WHAT IS NECESSARY : 
Loud voice and chattering are bad merits. You have to be sweet-worded, tender in expressing yourself. Concerning this merit, The Prophet (Peace be up on him) said "The good word is a charity (is a Sadaqa)." If the good word has its own magic in winning the hearts of your enemies how powerfully it would work then with your brothers' hearts!! Whoever guarantees me the protection of the part between his two jaws (i.e. tongue) and that which is between his thighs (i.e. private parts), I guarantee for him Jannah. (Bukhaari and Muslim) Prophet's (Peace be up on him) said: "Nobility of manners and taciturnity are the best of manners that people are ever characterized by." 

BE A GOOD LISTENER: 
It is to listen patiently and never interrupt the speaker, as the Prophet (Peace be up on him) never interrupted a speaker till he ended his speech. And he who fights for this merit gains others love and admiration, whilst on the contrary is the one who chatters and interrupts the other. 

APPEARANCE AND DRESSING WELL: 
You have to be careful with your appearance so as to be neat, well-dressed. The Prophet (Peace be up on him) says that Allah (Saw) loves beauty to be in every thing. 

BE KIND AND HELPFUL: 
Good treatment you classifies you as an obedient, beloved slave of Allah (Saw) as the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) says: "The more you are in (real) favour of others, the more you are beloved by Allah (Saw) " as Allah (Saw) says in the Quran: " And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah (Saw) and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah (Saw) love those, who do good" (2:195) Every good deed is sadaqah (an act of charity). (Bukhaari and Muslim)Whoever provides ease for someone who is burdened with debt, Allah will provide ease for him in this world and the Aakhirah. (Sahih Muslim)

BE GENEROUS: 
Offering money is the key for most of the closed doors that hinder you from reaching others hearts, especially in these days. Some people behave stingily as if they see the ghost of poverty waiting to attack them once they think about being generous in offering money i.e. not the behaviour of the Muslim. Sadaqah (the giving of charity) wipes out sin just as water extinguishes fire. (Tirmizi)

EXCUSE SHORTCOMINGS: 
Keeping an eye on others behaviour is a bad merit that blocks your way to their hearts. On the contrary is to have a good opinion of them. So, try hard to give your brothers the excuse as much as you can. Allah (Saw) told us that if some one hurt others then he or she would have to ask for forgiveness from the person as well as from Allah (Saw) in order to compensate the mistake. The Muslim who conceals the faults of another Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Qiyaamah. (Sahih Muslim)

 

BE HONEST AND EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS: 
If you loved someone or felt good feelings about them, don't wait, just tell them at once. Regarding this, the Prophet (Peace be up on him) said: "If you felt the brotherly love of Islam towards any, you should immediately go and tell him about your feelings." He added "It is the way relations are to be strongly indicated". Such love is to be blessed by Allah (Saw) , if it is purely for Allah (Saw) 's sake, not for any other personal affairs such as seeking high position, money, fame etc. Unless this love is for Allah's (Saw) sake, it is a fruitless kind of brotherhood then. 

Moreover, Allah (Saw) says: "Friends on that Day will be enemies one to another, except Al Muttaqoon (i.e. those who have strong faith and deeds)." (43:67) I enjoin upon you truthfulness for indeed truthfulness guides towards virtue, and virtue certainly leads to Jannah. (Bukhaari and Muslim)

BE SOCIABLE: 
It is the art of being social. Here, a kind of misconception could exist between sociability and hypocrisy. Could you differentiate between the two meanings? The difference between hypocrisy and sociability is that sociability is a desirable legal behaviour in order to improve either life on earth or religion or so as to improve both by sacrificing the worldly affairs, while hypocrisy aims at sacrificing religion for the sake of the worldly affairs. 
The Prophet (Peace be up on him) said: "Being sociable is as alms-giving."

 

The Muslim who visits his sick Muslim brother in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the evening, and if he visits him in the evening, then seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the morning. And he will be granted a mansion (for it) in Jannah.(Tirmizi)

 

Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] was asked about the deeds which lead most of the people into Jannah. He replied, 'The fear of Allah and good manners.' (Tirmizi)

 

Family ties are suspended from the Arsh (Throne of Allah). It proclaims: Whoever upholds me, may Allah keep good relations with him and whoever severs me, may Allah sever His relation (of mercy) from him.(Bukhaari and Muslim)

WHO MADE THE CAMEL ?

The camel is an animal that has been in the service of mankind, from times immemorial. The people of the desert affectionately call this animal as "the ship of the desert." Its importance is best understood by those who dwell in the barren wastes of a desert land.

The camel has certain peculiarities which in a way, show that it has been made so thoughtfully so as to adapt itself to the harsh climate and the needs of those who live in the desert. There is a lot that needs to be told about one of the most wonderful creations that has ever been domesticated by man for his use.

The most specific feature of the camel is its body structure, which is not affected even in the most severe circumstances. It can survive without water and food for many days and can travel in the harsh desert climate carrying hundreds of kilograms of luggage on its back.

The feet of the camel are made in such a way that it can travel in all types of land with equal ease as it does in the desert; its feet are made up of two toes connected to each other with a flexible cushion. This structure enables it to firmly grasp the sandy land. Its nails protect the feet against any damage that may occur as a result of accidents. Its knees are covered with a hard structure called as the "callus", which is made up of skin as hard and as thick as a horn.

When the animal lies down on the hot sands, this calloused structure protects the animal from being burnt by the extremely hot sand of the desert. The hump of the camel acts as a food stock, formed by lots of fats, and provides nutrition to the animal periodically, when the food is in short supply. A thirsty camel consumes 130 liters of water, in just ten minutes. With this inbuilt system, this animal can survive without water for three weeks, during which time it may lose as much as 33% of its body weight. A camel delays the perspiration of its body by means of increasing its body temperature up to 41 degrees C, and thus prevents water loss. Under the same severe circumstances, a human being would lose 8% of his weight, but die within thirty-six hours because he would completely lose all the water in his body.

The camel's fur consists of thick and felted hair that not only protects the body of the animal against extreme climatic conditions, but also reduces the water loss.

With its thick fur, the camels in Asia can survive high temperatures reaching up to +50 degrees C in summer and falling down to -50 degrees C in winter.

The eyelashes of the camel are designed like two separate combs that clamp together. Not even a single grain of sand is let into the eye in case of dangers like the desert storms. Its nose and ears are covered with long hair for protection from sand and dust. Its long neck enables the animal to reach and feed on the leaves, which are three meters high above the ground.

In addition to the above features, the camel also has other specialized structures and systems in its body which makes the animal withstand the harsh conditions of the desert.

The camels have very strong, rubber-like lips that make it easier for them to eat thorns sharp enough to pierce leather. Furthermore, its strong digestive system digests everything it comes across like plastic plates or copper wires. The four-chambered stomach of this wonderful animal creates minimum fuss. Contrast this with our fussy food habits and preferences. And also, do we endure as many hardships for as many days as the camel does?

Is it possible for the camel to have adapted its body to the desert conditions on its own? Is it possible for the camel to have any role in shaping up the other peculiarities that are an in-built protection against whirlwinds and desert storms? Is it possible for it to create its own blood and cell structure based on the principle of prevention of loss of water? Is it possible for it to choose for itself the type of hair covering its body to protect itself from both the heat and cold of the desert? Is it possible for it to convert all by itself into a 'desert ship'? Is the creation of a camel an accident of nature or the product of a well laid-out plan?  

"Blessed be He in Whose Hands is the Dominion; and He over all things hath Power-- He Who created Death and LIfe, that He may try which of you is best in deed; and He is the Exalted In Might, Oft-Forgiving-- He Who created the seven heavens one above another: no want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: Seest thou any flaw?" (Qur'an 67:1-4)

TEACHING ABOUT THE CREATOR IN SIMPLE TERMS

Question:

How can we help a child to know his Lord?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

A child can be taught about Allaah in a suitable manner, according to his level of understanding. He can be told that Allaah is One and has no partner. He can be told that He is the Creator of all things, so He is the Creator of the earth, the heavens, people, animals, trees, rivers, etc. The educator can make the most of some situations by asking the child, whilst walking through a garden or in the countryside, about Who made the water, rivers and things in the natural scenery around him, to draw his attention to the greatness of the Creator. The father, mother or educators in general may be with a child or group of children in a car on a journey or a trip at the time of sunset, when the sun disappears from sight gradually. All that the educator has to do at that point is to draw the attention of those who are with him to the power of Allaah displayed in that.

A child can also be taught to understand the bounty of Allaah and the blessing of good health that He has bestowed upon him. For example, you could say to him, “Who gave you your hearing, sight and mind? Who gave you strength and the ability to move?” and so on. The child can also be encouraged to love Allaah and to thank Him for this blessing and bounty. Making a child love Allaah and the things that Allaah loves is a good action which will bring educational benefits sooner or later, by Allaah’s Leave.

A mother opened a window on the second floor of the house to let some air in, but her child came and quickly closed it. When his mother asked him why he had done that, he said, “I saw the dish on one of our neighbours’ roofs and I don’t want to look at anything that my Lord does not like.”

A child may ask about his Lord, whether He eats or sleeps. In that case we have to answer and tell him that there is nothing like Allaah, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing; neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. Allaah is not like us, He does not need to sleep, eat or drink.

If these meanings are made simple for a child and explained to him in a way that is suited to his age, then the veneration of Allaah in his heart is one of the things that will help him to be aware that Allaah is watching him in secret and in public.

WHY DOES ALLAH REQUIRE US TO PRAISE HIM? WHAT BENEFIT DOES HE GET?

Question

Why does Allah require us to praise Him? What benefit does he get?

Answer

1. Allahu Akbar doesn’t make Allah Great:

Allah (SWT) does not require our praises for His benefit. When we say ‘Allahu Akbar’ meaning Allah is the Greatest, He does not become greater. He is already the Greatest whether we say a million times Allahu Akbar or we don’t say. It will make no difference in his greatness. He will yet remain the Greatest.

2. We Praise Allah for our benefit:

It is mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Fatir chapter 35 verse 15

“O ye men! It is ye that have need of Allah: but Allah is the One Free of all wants,

worthy of all praise.”

[Al-Qur’an 35:15]

Allah (SWT) is free of all wants. He does not require us to praise Him. It is we human beings who require Allah (SWT) and we praise Him for our own benefits.

3. We praise Allah to convince ourselves that He is worthy to be obeyed and served.

We normally follow the advice of a person who is great, famous and important. A person who is intelligent and wise. We will not follow the advice of a stranger who is unknown or a person who is not intelligent nor wise. That is the reason that we praise Allah (SWT) that He is the Greatest, The Most Wise, The All Knowing, etc., to first convince ourselves that He is worthy to be followed then we ask Him to guide us and help us.

4. In Surah Fatihah we first recite praises of Allah then we seek His help:

That is the reason why Surah Fatiha or the opening Chapter of the Holy Qur’an is always recited in every rakaat of the Salaah. In the first 4 or 5 verses of Surah Fatihah we initially praise Allah (SWT).

“In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds: Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgement. Thee do we worship, And Thine aid we seek.”

[Al-Qur’an 1:1-5]

Then later we ask Him for help for our own benefit.

“Show us the straight way, the way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.”

[Al-Qur’an 1:6-7]

Thus we first praise Allah (SWT) in Surah Fatihah and agree that He is Most Gracious, Most Merciful, The Chrisher, The Sustainer, The Master, etc, and then we ask Him for guidance and help.

5. Prefer treatment and advice from the best doctor:

If you are sick and have a heart problem and the best available heart specialist gives you advice, you will follow His advice. But if a stranger who has no knowledge of medicine or a quack gives you advice, you will not follow it.

6. If all the oceans were ink, it would not suffice to praise Allah:

Thus we praise Allah (SWT) for our own benefit. However much we may praise Him it is insufficient because the Holy Qur’an says in

Surah Kahf chapter 18 verse 109:

“Say: ‘If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if We added another ocean like it, for its aid.’”

[Al-Qur’an 18:109]

7. If trees were pens and oceans were ink they would not suffice to write words of Allah.

A similar message is repeated in Surah Luqman chapter 31 verse 27

“And if all the trees on earth were pens and the Ocean (were ink), with seven oceans behind it to add to its (supply), yet would not the words of Allah be exhausted (in the writing): for Allah is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom.”

[Al-Qur’an 31:27]

8. We praise Allah to follow His commandments:

Allah (SWT) does not require us to praise Him for His benefit but He requires us to praise Him for our benefit. In Salaah while reciting verses of the Qur’an, we agree that He is Supreme and Ultimate and commit that we will follow His advice and commandments so that we stay on the siratal mustaqeem (straight path).

!!! QURAN & SCIENCE !!!

!!! QURAN & SCIENCE !!!

In Islam, there is no conflict between faith in God and modern scientific knowledge. Indeed, for many centuries during the Middle Ages,Muslims led the world in scientific inquiry and exploration. The Quran itself, revealed
14 centuries ago, contains many scientific facts and imagery that are supported by modern findings.

The Quran instructs Muslims to "contemplate the wonders of creation" (Quran 3:191). The entire universe, which was created by Allah, follows and obeys His laws. Muslims are encouraged to seek knowledge, explore the universe, and find the "Signs of Allah" in His creation. 

Allah says:

"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of ships through the ocean, for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that
He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth; here indeed are Signs for a people that are wise" (Quran 2:164)

For a book revealed in the 7th century C.E.,the Quran contains many scientifically- accurate statements. Among them:

CREATION:–>

"Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, then We split them apart? And We made from water every living thing…" (21:30).

"And Allah has created every animal from water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four..." (24:45)

"See they not how Allah originates creation, then repeats it? Truly that is easy for Allah" (29:19).

ASTRONOMY:–>

"It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. All (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course" (21:33).

"It is not permitted for the sun to catch up to the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. Each just swims along in its own orbit" (36:40).

"He created the heavens and the earth in true proportions. He makes the night overlap the day, and the day overlap the night. He has subjected the sun and the moon to His law; each one follows a course for a time appointed..." (39:5).

"The sun and the moon follow courses
exactly computed" (55:5).

GEOLOGY:–>

"You see the mountains and think they are firmly fixed. But they pass away just as the clouds pass away. Such is the artistry of Allah, Who disposes of all things in perfect order" (27:88).

FETAL DEVELOPMENT:–>

"Man We did create from a quintessence of clay. Then we placed him as a drop of
sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed. Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood. Then out of that clot We made a fetus lump. Then We made out of that lump bones, and clothed the bones with flesh. Then We developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the Best to create!" (23:12-14).

"But He fashioned him in due proportion,
and breathed into him of His spirit. And He gave you hearing, and sight, and
understanding" (32:9).

"That He did create the pairs, male and
female, from a sperm-drop when lodged in its place" (53:45-46).

"Was he not a drop of sperm emitted, then did he become a leach-like clot. Then did Allah make and fashion him in due proportion. And of him He made two sexes, male and female" (75:37-39).

"He makes you in the wombs of your
mothers in stages, one after another, in
three veils of darkness" (39:6).

WHERE 2 OCEANS MEET.. BUT DO NOT MIX

WHERE 2 OCEANS MEET.. BUT DO NOT MIX !!!

Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny?

First of all, here are the Ayaat of the Holy Quran, in Surah Rahman,

Surah 55:19 - 28

[19] He has let free the two bodies of flowing water (salt and fresh), meeting together:

[20] Between them is a barrier which they do not transgress:

[21] Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny?

[22] Out of them come pearls and coral:

[23] Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny?

[24] Also, his are the ships displayed upon the sea, like banners.

[25] Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny?

[26] All that live on it will perish.

[27] And there will endure for ever the person of your lord, the lord of glory and honor

[28] Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny?

"He releases the two seas (meeting) side by side, between the a barrier (so)neither of then transgresses"
(Quran, 55: 19-20)

"And it is He who has released (simultaneously ) one fresh sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition"
(Quran, 25:53)

"It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowingwater: one palatable and sweet, and the other salty and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, and a partition thatis forbidden to be passed"
(Quran, 25:53)

How can it be?

Modern science find this myth while Quran state it in more than 1400 years ago.

For a Muslim phenomenon like it was not unusual because all happens with the power of almighty Allah.

Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, thereis a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity and density. This phenomenon occurs in several places, including the divider between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean at Gibralter. A white bar can also be clearly seen at Cape Point, Cape Peninsula, South Africa where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean. 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.

This phenomenon occurs in several places, including Egypt, where the river Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea. These scientific phenomena mentioned in the Qur’an was also confirmed by Dr. William Hay, a well known marinescientistand Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, U.S.A.
