Allah says in the Qur'an: "He let the two seas to flow both would then meet, between the two existing limits are not exceeded respectively. Which favors of your Lord will you deny what you are. ? From both of them out of pearls 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 flow (adjacent), which is fresh fresh again and the other salty and bitter, and He made between them and the boundary wall that blocks". [QS: Al-Furqaan / 25: 53].
In general every flowing river water and into the sea, river water will gradually change the flavor and color to follow the sea water content. But there are two seas meeting in which the water is not mixed with each other and merge them together horizontally storey, as mentioned in the verses mentioned above.
Is Professor. Dr. -Sumaih Muhammad Ibrahim, a professor from the University of Qatar, which in the year 1984-1988 doing research in the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. With a ship researcher, he discovered a bay area at the second meeting, which is called mixed water areas in the language of the Qur'an called the lowest hell. At the lowest hell or water mixed area, there are two levels of water. On the upper level area originated from the Gulf of Oman, which have water with fresh flavor and freshness, this caused the water in the Gulf of Oman comes from a great river. Then on the lower level area originated from the Persian Gulf which tend bitter taste salty water. The dividing line is at kedalama between 10-50 meters, horizontal and not mixed or fused # "... and He made between them and the boundary wall that blocks" [Al Furqaan: 53]. # Scientifically, the dividing line that separates the lowest hell called the second level of water in the mixed area is an attraction that is stable from each of the bay water, of course, caused by fundamental differences in the levels, temperature and type of water. On the lower level area which has a salt water tends to even bitter, many found in shellfish that produce high-quality pearls.
In contemplation of tasawwuf, the verses of the Quran inspires Tariqat experts as a metaphor in pursuing the road seclusion, so there is a lesson and can be used to enhance particular deeds Tariqat:
Bay is located in upper-level area originated from the river have fresh water, fresh and able to provide many benefits for all sentient beings. As a charity of the Shari'a, if the practice was carried out in earnest to provide freshness, fresh water and fresh like that can release the thirst for being hit by hunger due to the heat of the sun and can clean for the dirty. Prayers, dhikr, fasting, zakat and hajj makes physical, property, and the soul of the perpetrator to be healthy wal'afiat and will provide great benefit to other beings as a result of the practice of shari'ah.
Bay is located in the area below the level of water that tastes salty memilki tended even bitter, certainly can not give freshness to the person being hit by thirst because the water would likely increase the thirst for peminumnya even makes my throat feel like choking. But in the sea water was salty and bitter that there are many oysters that produce pearls of high quality and can be seen that adorn the beautiful coral seabed. That picture of practice / work Tariqat, many obstacles and difficulties that will confront and bitterness of life we will experience. So not many people are interested in the teachings Tariqat, plus the existence of such hidden Tariqat science (in / spiritual nature).
If the river flow has been met with a sea of Shariah Tariqat the pearl munculah ma'rifah # "Of the two out of pearls and Marjan" [Ar-Rahman: 22] # In this area, a servant will know who he is, he will know (by heart ) Rabb which during the worship, he will feel how close the Lord with him he will feel (with bathinnya, with sirrnya) all the attributes of God. Although his tongue he is able to enjoy silent dhikr, for his heart and sirr already honed. It was not easy to achieve these capabilities sirry dhikr, only with a strong will and istiqomah and presence of God's grace the blessing of God will come karuania.
Remember God's promise: "and if they istiqomah the above road (Tariqat Islam) then I really will provide fresh water (as a source of life)" [al-Jinn: 16]. If a servant istiqomah are on the road / Tariqat then God will supply rejekinya which He brought from the direction of the unexpected. Because when dhikr has become part of the life of a servant of God will move the creatures-creatures (angels, Teachers Mursyid and Brethren), to help achieve the benefits and the greatest kindness. Amen ... amen ... yaa ... robbal'alamin
