Surah Faatir
And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.﴿12﴾
Translation
And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.
Simplified Tafsir
وما يستوي البحران: هذا عذب شديد العذوبة، سَهْلٌ مروره في الحلق يزيل العطش، وهذا ملح شديد الملوحة، ومن كل من البحرين تأكلون سمكًا طريًّا شهيَّ الطَّعم، وتستخرجون زينة هي اللؤلؤ والمَرْجان تَلْبَسونها، وترى السفن فيه شاقات المياه؛ لتبتغوا من فضله من التجارة وغيرها. وفي هذا دلالة على قدرة الله ووحدانيته؛ ولعلكم تشكرون لله على هذه النعم التي أنعم بها عليكم.
