Bay of Fundy

The Quran informs us that when Noah (Nuh عليه السلام) climbed in the Ark, the Earth was flooded with water. Later on, when it was over, the water receded. 

There is a place on Earth that displays this phenomenon daily. 

When we visited the Bay of Fundy, the water had almost receded. From the almost forty-eight feet high tide, we learnt later, that inundates the Bay every day, twice a day, what we witnessed was just very little water, receding away from us, as we walked towards it. It seemed unbelievable. 

Later on, when we returned and looked up the phenomenon, it was amazing to read all about this miracle that is witnessed daily. All praise and thanks to Allah ﷻ for showing us His miracles in the most gentle of ways, increasing our faith, and helping us know that all that is mentioned in His Book is real.

Growing Glaciers

A few years ago, by the Grace of Allah, I was able to travel near the base of a mountain range, and witness an amazing wonder. 

The jeep ride half the way up was very rough, and then it was a steep walking track, which I could not climb easily. So, we hired a horse and its rider to lead me all the way up to the valley, and beyond towards the base camp. It was three continuous days of luxurious travelling, like a royalty, even climbing upon, and getting off, the horse beside a high rock. 

The ride up was steep, with tall mountain on one side, and a deep ravine on the other. The valley we reached up was beautiful. Next, we undertook the journey towards the base camp of one of the tallest mountains. Trotting through beautiful streams of water amidst tall mountains, with an avalanche in clear view, at a distance, it was an idyllic journey. 

Next, as we cantered up closer towards the base camp, clear into view came rows of glaciers, spectacular to behold. They were rows of muddy brown and pristine white glaciers, running parallel to each other. The guide mentioned that the muddy glaciers were male, and the pristine white female, something we modern people mentally dismissed as folk tale. However, later on, I searched online, and to my amazement, learnt that actually glaciers are of two kinds, and if we want to grow a glacier, we need both kinds together. This is local wisdom that is applied to create a water source in dry seasons. 

All praise and thanks to Allah, who has created everything in pairs, and shows us His wonderful creations.
