The Qur'anic expression "runs at sea" is miraculous in its totality; generalizable, it not only describes sea vessels that run between waves, but also includes: Submarines that run inside the depths of the sea.
Flow in the Quran as a Universal Concept: “Swimming” and “Running” in Celestial Orbits
The Quranic expression runs at sea’ is miraculous in its comprehensiveness; it is generalizable, describing not only sea vessels that run between waves, but also:
Submarines that run inside the sea.
* Spacecraft that run in the "sea of the universe", (knowing that their pioneers use the sea on Earth to practice life in the "cosmic sea / outer space"), and in this way integrates with other verses that talk about "swimming" and "running" in the corners, to draw a unified global picture, where everything moves system and accuracy and mastery in this wide sea with the permission of his Lord and Creator.
The concept of flow in the Qur'an starts from the movement of simple ships in the sea, and extends to include celestial bodies, mountains and clouds, as the Qur'an and scientific facts decide to portray the whole universe moving in an integrated system, at the discretion of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
1. Sun Run
And the sun runs towards a resting place for it; that is the decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
The Qur’an does not describe the motion of the sun as constant, but as an accurate expression; modern science confirms that the sun is moving at an enormous speed (?828,000 km/h) around the center of the Milky Way.
“Running” is not confined to ships or rivers, but includes the celestial bodies themselves.
2. Planetary Runoff
Today we call them "carrying planets," but the Qur'an is broader and more accurate; these planets are in fact "going on" in their orbits around the sun, subject to the law of gravity.
* If we apply the Quranic expression to say: the planets are running, because the description of the "car" suggests walking on a surface, while the "current" includes swimming in an extended medium (the sea of the universe).
3. Mountain Runoff
And you will see the mountains, you will think them frozen as they pass through the clouds.
The Qur'an also describes mountains as rivers of water, likening them to the passage of clouds.
Scientifically: This corresponds to the movement of the tectonic plates and the movement of the whole earth in its orbit, as the mountains move by the movement of the earth itself as the clouds move in the atmosphere.
4. Quranic module in "Al-Jaryan"
Ships and ships that run in the sea (Al-Baqarah: 164).
The sun and the sun run (YES:38)
The planets are all in your orbit (Yis: 40).
And the mountains, as they pass through the clouds.
Cloud: Running with the wind in the sky.
Conclusion:
The flow in the Qur'an is not just a dynamic description, but a universal year / a universal cosmic concept / "swim" and "flow" in the Aflaq:
* Ships run in the water.
* Planes run in the air.
Spacecraft are in the sea of the universe.
* Heavenly bodies run in their orbits.
* Mountains run on the earth.
Thus, the Qur’an not only formulates a complete picture of the “current”, which makes the whole universe in a harmonious living motion, at the discretion of the Almighty, but also connects the concept with human experience and makes it a great engine of scientific research.
