Transliteration:( Bainahumaa barzakhul laa yabghiyaan )
“Between them is a barrier that one cannot cross [19] the other.”
This verse highlights the power of Allah Almighty, who has created a barrier between the sweet and salty waters, even though they mix seamlessly. Despite the apparent lack of any visible covering, they do not fully merge. The Sufi sages draw a parallel to human beings, where the heart and soul are distinct but connected within a person. Similarly, from the same mother, Allah Almighty allows the birth of both a boy and a girl, and from the same father, He causes the birth of a believer and an infidel, an auspicious and a wicked person. This reflects the divine wisdom in creating distinctions within unity.
