Oceans & Navigation

The family of Hj Mazlan Muslim comprising of his wife Noorhayati, son Muhammad Sufi and daughter Munirah having snack at Brunei beach near Tg. Kidurong. It was during the previous AidilAdha celebration in 2008.

We spent about 10 days at Miri, Sarawak & travelled to Brunei in order to see the next door state. As we enjoy the tidbits, we also ponder on the Divine creations - the seas.

A certain number of verses in the Glorious Quran deal with the seas & navigation. As subjects for reflection, they provide indications of Divine Omnipotence that arise from the facts of common observation. The following verses are examples of this:

"(Allah SWT) has made the ship subject to you, so that it runs upon the ocean the His Command." (Surah 14: 32)
"(Allah SWT) is the One who subjected the ocean, so that you eat fresh meat from it & you extract from it ornaments which you wear. You see the ships plowing the waves, so that you seek of His Bounty. Maybe, you will be thankful." (Surah 16:14)
"Has you seen that the ship runs upon the ocean by the Grace of Allah SWT, in order to show you His signs. Verily in this are Signs for all who are persevering & grateful." (Surah 31:31)
"His are the ships erected upon the ocean like tokens." (Surah 55:24)
