There are in fact water barriers between every two seas that meet on the face of the Earth! For instance, between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean lies a strait called the Mandab Strait (or “Bab-el-Mandeb” in Arabic). This strait is the point at which the Red Sea and Indian Ocean meet. However, it stretches for several kilometres and acts as a barrier which divides these two bodies of water in order for each one to preserve its own temperature, salinity and density . Each body of water keeps its own properties and they never mix nor trespass upon each other! And the Qur’an specifically refers to this amazing fact: {He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together: (19) Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress: (20)} [Al-Rahman, 55:19-20]. And just as the Qur’an says that God has “let free the two bodies of flowing water”, science has indeed shown that although two bodies of water like the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean can and do meet, their properties never mix, despite the existence of these seas and oceans for thousands of years!
