Investigating open water spaces in Strait of Gibraltar, he discovered
the surprising fact not explained by science: the
existence of two water layers which do not mix with
each other. They as if are divided by a film and have among
themselves precise borders. Each of them has its own temperature, salt
structure, animal and flora. These are waters of the
Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meeting each
other in Strait of Gibraltar.
"In 1962", - tells Jacque Cousteau, - "German scientists found
out, that in Bab el Mandeb, where the waters of Gulf of Aden and
the Red sea converge, the waters of the Red sea and the Indian
ocean do not mix together."

When the Messenger felt that he
was severely sick, he took Ali ('a) and they were
followed by a group of Muslims and went to
Al-Baqi’ (the
cemetery of Medina). There the Prophet ('s) said:
"I was commanded to
ask forgiveness to the occupants of Baqi".
‘Peace
be on you, O people of the graves. I congratulate you on your
situation compared to that of the living”.
It was as if he was saying to them that leaving this world and
meeting their Lord is better than living.
“Tribulations
are coming like the dark pieces of night”.

Calligraphy, known as 'khatt' in Arabic, is an outstanding
example of blending form and function. From the grandest
of Masjids with their expertly carved stuccos to the simplest of
rural Masjids with few Qur'anic verses painted on their walls, one can
see the strong influence of Qur'anic calligraphy that has
attached itself to the expression of Islamic art.
A passion for the written script constitutes
one of the fundamental traits of Islamic culture. For Islam, the
Arabic script is not merely a tool invented by human beings, but
a gift of God.
