Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
pearl
Allah says in the Qur'an: "He let the two seas, converging together, the two have not exceeded the limits of each. Which favors of your Lord will you deny what you are. ? From both out pearl and Marjan. Which favors of your Lord will you deny what you "? [QS: ArRahmaan / 55: 19-23];
"And he who let the two seas that flows (co) which is fresh and fresh again other salty bitter anymore, and he made between the two walls and boundaries that hinder". [Surah: Al-Furqaan / 25: 53].
In general, any river that flows into the sea, river water will gradually change the flavor and color of the sea following the water content. But there was a meeting of two seas whose waters do not mix and blend them together side by side horizontally stratified, as mentioned in the verses above.
Is Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ibrahim al-Sumaih, a professor from the University of Qatar in the year 1984-1988 doing research in the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. With a ship of researchers, he found an area on the second meeting of the bay is called the mixed water areas in the Qur'an called Barzakh. Barzakh or mixed water at the area there are two levels of water. At the upper level area of the Gulf of Oman comes with a sense of fresh water and fresh, this caused the water in the Gulf of Oman from the great river. Then on the lower level area comes from the Persian Gulf are likely to taste bitter salty water. The dividing line is at kedalama between 10-50 meters, horizontal and do not mix or blend # "... and He made between the two walls and boundaries that hinder" [Al Furqaan: 53]. # Scientifically, the dividing line that separates the so-called second Barzakh mixed water levels in these areas is the main attraction of a stable water each bay, of course, caused by fundamental differences of level, temperature and type of water. At the lower level area that has a bitter salty water even likely, many found shells that produce high quality pearls.
In contemplation of tasawwuf, the Qu'ran verses inspire scholars pursue the Order as a metaphor in mysticism road, so there are lessons to be learned and can be used to increase acts of worship, especially the Order:
In the bay area from the upper level of the river have fresh water is fresh and able to provide many benefits for all beings. As charities sharia, assuming the practice is carried out in earnest to provide freshness, like fresh water and fresh that can release that was hit by the thirst for thirsty by the heat of the sun and can clean the dirty. Prayer, dhikr, fasting, zakat and hajj makes physical, property, and the perpetrators be life-good health and will give great benefit to other creatures as a result of the practice of shari'ah.
Bays are located at the lower level has an area that tastes salty water tends even bitter, of course, can not give freshness to the person being hit by the thirst for water will only add to the drinker thirsty throat feels even made a strangled. But at the air-water sea salt there is a lot more bitter shells that produce high quality pearls and can be seen the beautiful coral that adorn seabed. That picture of the practice / work the Order, and gets a lot of difficulties that will confront and the bitterness of life we will experience. So not many people who are interested in the teachings of the Order, plus the existence of the Order of science such as hidden (inside / spiritual nature).
If the river flow has been met with a sea of Islamic Shari'a the Order then came the pearl ma'rifah # "From both out pearl and Marjan" [Ar-Rahman: 22] # In this area, a servant would know who he was, he would know (by heart ) Rabb who had been worshiped, he will feel how close the Lord with him he will feel (with his heart, with sirrnya) all the attributes of God. Though silent his tongue he could feel the pleasure of remembrance, for his heart and sirr already honed. It is not easy to achieve the ability sirry dhikr, only with a strong will and the grace of God istiqomah and then karuania blessing of God will come.
Remember God's promise: "and if only they istiqomah on the road (the Order of Islam) then I really will give a fresh water (as a source of life)" [al-Jinn: 16]. If a servant istiqomah're on your way / the Order then Allah will replenish his fortune which he brought from the direction of the unexpected. Because if dhikr has become part of the life of a servant of God will move the creatures creatures (Angel, Master Murshid and the Brotherhood), to help achieve the benefits and the greatest kindness. Amen ... amen ... yaa robbal'alamin ...
