Aquatic Life according to the Quran

In the Quran, aquatic life refers to the various forms of life that live in the water, including fish, whales, sea turtles, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and other marine animals. Allah has created a diverse and abundant array of aquatic life, as well as the ecosystems and environments that support them. The Quran emphasizes Allah's power and control over all aspects of the natural world, including the sea and the diverse forms of life that it supports, and encourages us to reflect on Allah's creation and to appreciate its beauty and intricacy.

The Quran mentions various types of aquatic life and emphasizes their importance in the natural world. Here are some relevant verses:

"And it is He who has made the sea subject, that you may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that you may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and you see the ships therein that plough the waves, that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may be thankful." (Quran 16:14)

"And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!" (Quran 13:4)

"It is He who has subjected the sea that you may eat thereof fresh flesh, and may take forth from it gems which are a delight to you; and you see the ships cleaving through it, that you may seek of His bounty and that you may give thanks." (Quran 16:14)

"And it is He who has created from water a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation]." (Quran 25:54)

"The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How could it be that He should have a son when He has no consort and He (Himself) created everything, and He is the Knower of all things." (Quran 6:101)

These verses demonstrate the importance of aquatic life and their role in providing sustenance, beauty, and natural resources for human beings. They also emphasize the power and creativity of Allah in creating and sustaining the natural world.

"And We created every living creature out of water. Will they not then believe?" (Quran 21:30)

"It is Allah who made for you the sea that the ships may sail therein by His command and that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful." (Quran 45:12)

"He has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) they meet together: between them is a barrier which they do not exceed. There come forth from them pearls and coral." (Quran 55:19-22)

"And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variation in your languages and your colors. Verily, in that are signs for people of knowledge. And among His signs is your sleep by night and by day, and your seeking of His bounty. Verily, in that are signs for a people who listen. And among His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope, and He sends down rain from the sky, and therewith revives the earth after its death. Verily, in that are signs for a people who understand. And among His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by His command. Then afterwards when He will call you by a single call, behold, you will come out from the earth." (Quran 30:22-25)

These verses highlight the importance of aquatic life in the creation of Allah and the benefits that they provide to humanity. They also emphasize the diversity and beauty of Allah's creation, as well as His power and control over the natural world.

"And We created from water every living thing. So will they not believe?" (Quran 21:30)

"It is He who has subjected to you the sea, that you may eat from it fresh seafood, and extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and that you may seek of His bounty and perhaps you will be grateful." (Quran 16:14)

"And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit." (Quran 21:33)

"He created the heavens without any pillars that you can see, and He set on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with you. And He scattered thereon beasts of every kind. And We send down water from the sky, and We cause plants of every goodly kind to grow therein." (Quran 31:10)

These verses highlight the importance of water in the creation of Allah and the diverse forms of life that it supports, including aquatic life. They also emphasize the power and control of Allah over the natural world and the benefits that it provides to humanity.

"It is He who made the sea subservient to you, so that you may eat from it fresh seafood, and extract from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships sailing through it, as you seek His bounties, and perhaps you will be appreciative." (Quran 45:12)

"And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are Signs for those who know. And among His Signs is your sleep, and the daytime pursuit of His bounty. In this are Signs for those who listen. And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning as a source of fear, and hope, and He sends down water from the sky, and therewith revives the land after its death. In this are Signs for those who understand." (Quran 30:22-24)

"Do you not see that Allah has made subservient to you everything in the heavens and the earth, and has showered you with His blessings, overt and covert? Yet some people argue about Allah without knowledge, without guidance, and without an enlightening scripture." (Quran 31:20)

These verses highlight the blessings and signs of Allah's creation, including the subservience of the sea and the diverse forms of life that it supports. They also emphasize the importance of seeking Allah's bounty and being grateful for His blessings.

"Do you not see that the ships sail through the sea by the grace of Allah, so that He may show you some of His signs? Surely, there are signs in this for every patient, grateful person." (Quran 31:31)

"And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, and His Throne was upon the water, that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct." (Quran 11:7)

"Say: 'Tell me, if Allah made it perpetual night for you till the Day of Resurrection, which god is there other than Allah, who could bring you light? Will you not then listen?'" (Quran 28:71)

These verses emphasize the power and control of Allah over the natural world, including the sea and the diverse forms of life that it supports. They also highlight the importance of being patient, grateful, and attentive to Allah's signs, as well as the uniqueness of Allah as the one and only true God.

"And among His signs is that He shows you the lightning, inspiring both fear and hope, and sends down rain from the sky, bringing the dead earth back to life. Indeed, in this are signs for those who use their reason." (Quran 30:24)

"He created the heavens and the earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver." (Quran 39:5)

"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought." (Quran 30:21)

These verses remind us of Allah's power and control over the natural world, including the sea and the diverse forms of life that it supports. They also highlight the importance of using reason and giving thought to Allah's signs, as well as the importance of love, mercy, and compassion in our relationships.

"He merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night, and He has subjected the sun and the moon; each running its course for an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs all sovereignty. And those whom you invoke besides Him do not possess even the membrane of a date seed." (Quran 35:13)

"Say: 'Travel in the land and see how He originated the creation; then Allah creates the final creation. Indeed Allah has power over all things.'" (Quran 29:20)

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], 'Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.'" (Quran 3:190-191)

These verses remind us of Allah's power and sovereignty over all things, including the natural world and the diverse forms of life that it supports. They also encourage us to travel and observe Allah's creation, to use our understanding and reason to reflect on Allah's signs, and to remember and supplicate to Allah for protection and guidance.

"Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing." (Quran 67:19)

"It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing." (Quran 57:4)

"And We have created everything in pairs so that you may reflect." (Quran 51:49)

These verses emphasize Allah's power and control over all aspects of the natural world, including the sky, the earth, and the diverse forms of life that inhabit them. They also encourage us to reflect on Allah's creation, to appreciate its beauty and intricacy, and to recognize Allah's wisdom and mercy in everything that He has made.
