| British scientists have discovered waves that flow deep in the Pacific Ocean, Scientists were surprised to find them in the deep ocean.…. |
A great aya that always reminds of Allah’s greatness. Allah says: “Or (the Unbelievers’ state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow (a large wave) topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!”. [AL-Nour: 40].
Allah Almighty compares the blackness and gloominess of the deeds of the unbelievers to the blackness and gloominess of the depth of the ocean, overwhelmed by large waves, above these waves is another layer of waves on the surface of the ocean, above which are thick clouds blocking the sun light. It is layers above layers of darkness.
In the aya indicates a scientific fact that was only discovered at the end of the year 2007; Scientists discovered the deep waves flow beneath the superficial layers waves that we know.
Prof Karen Heywood, an oceanographer at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and co-author of the research, said: “We were both surprised and delighted. “We expected to find something at about 50m because satellite imagery indicated it was there but we were really excited when we got a result at 1,500 metres. It opens up the possibility that there may be more waves even deeper down.”
Dr Adrian Matthews, a meteorologist in UEA’s School of Environmental Sciences and lead author of the new research, said: “Everyone thought that there would be nothing to see below about 200m.
The fact is indicated in Allah’s words (billow topped by billow). Scientists were surprised at the discovery and assured that they never expected it. Subhan Allah, had they only read the Holy Quran, they would have realized that its word is the truth.
