The miracles of the Qur'an: Darkness in the seas and internal waves

Q: What are internal waves in the context of the deep sea?

Internal waves are underwater wave motions that occur between layers of seawater with different densities. They are invisible to the naked eye and can only be identified by measuring temperature and salinity variations at specific depths.

Q: Why is the description of deep-sea darkness in the Quran considered a miracle?

Humans can only reach a depth of about 70 meters without specialized technology, where sunlight is still present. Since total darkness occurs at 1000 meters, knowledge of this phenomenon was impossible for people in the 7th century to acquire without modern equipment.

Q: How does the Quran describe the structure of the ocean depths?

The Quran describes a sequence involving the darkness of the sea, internal waves, surface waves, and clouds above. This imagery emphasizes the layers of darkness that prevent light from penetrating the deepest parts of the ocean.

Q: What does the scientific accuracy of the Quran prove regarding its origin?

The ability of the Quran to convey accurate information about oceanic conditions that were beyond the reach of 7th-century technology demonstrates that it is the word of Allah. These facts confirm that the Quran is a divinely revealed message containing knowledge from the Creator.

Abstract

This video explores the scientific accuracy of the Quran regarding the physical characteristics of the deep sea. By highlighting verses that describe internal waves and total darkness in the ocean's depths, the video illustrates how such knowledge was inaccessible to 7th-century humans. These precise details serve as a profound testament to the divine origin of the Quran and Allah's artistry in creation.
