I always enjoy these commentaries in the Islam section of the Arab News. This one is about a passage in the Qur'an that is similar to the parts of the Bible that are Genesis, plus the Biblical admonition that God knows everyone before they are born. The focus of this commentary, though, is on the very interesting allegory about the two types of water.

After reading this commentary I had just one additional thought. Not only does God reconcile the difference between fresh and salt water in its usage in the world, but also in humans' own body. The blood of humans has salt, yet the water that humans drink must be fresh.
