"(The unbelievers' state) is like a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with
waves,one over the other, and above it is a cloud of darkness upon
darkness, one above another; if a man stretches out his hand, he can
hardly see it; For anyone to whom Allahgives no light, there is no
light." Al Quran, Surah An-Noor ( 24:40)
Gary Miller in his book,"The Amazing Quran" stated the following
story:A Muslim gave a copy of the Holy Quran to a man who was a
merchant marine. This man knew nothing about the history of Islam.
When he finishedreading the Holy Quran, heasked his Muslim
friend:"This man Muhammad RasulAllah (SAW), was he asailor? When he
was told that Muhammad RasulAllah (SAW) lived in adesert and probably
did not even see an ocean during his whole life, he embraced Islam on
the spot. He acknowledged that this description of theHoly Quran could
only be described by one who hadactually seen sea storms many times,
whereas Muhammad RasulAllah (SAW) never witnessed this phenomenon.
