Surat Ash-Shu'ara‘-63

Surat Ash-Shu'ara‘-63

•So We revealed to Moses, 'Strike the sea with your staff.' And it split in two, each part like a towering cliff. (Surat Ash-Shu'ara‘- 63)

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

•The Egyptian monarchs known as the pharaohs regarded themselves as divine in the polytheistic, superstitious religion of ancient Egypt.

Page 4: 074 the tsunami effect

1•Allah sent the Prophet Moses (pbuh) as an

envoy to the people of Egypt at a time when they preferred their own superstitious beliefs to the true faith and when they had enslaved the Israelites.

2•Despite the Prophet Moses (pbuh)'s

invitation to the true faith, the ancient Egyptians and Pharaoh and his court in particular, refused to abandon their pagan beliefs.

Page 5: 074 the tsunami effect

The Prophet Moses (pbuh) told Pharaoh and his court the things they ought to

avoid and warned them of the wrath of Allah. 

But they rebelled and falsely accused the Prophet Moses (pbuh) of madness, sorcery

and mendacity.

Page 6: 074 the tsunami effect

Although various tribulations were inflicted on Pharaoh and his people,

they still did not submit to Allah; they refused to accept Allah as the

one and only God. They even held the Prophet Moses (pbuh)

responsible for what had befallen them and sought to exile him from Egypt. At

this, Allah told the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and those with him to leave where they

were:

THE TSUNAMI EFFECTSince tsunami waves

cause large amounts of water to shift and thus

give way to the emergence of earth on

shallow grounds.

In the time of the Prophet

Moses (pbuh), as with the

tsunami waves the waters might have pulled back

some hundreds of meters and

this might have caused the

parting of the sea. (Allah

knows best.)

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

In addition, the waters are compared to mountains in the

above verse.

The waters collected in a

tsunami form a giant peak1 

Page 14: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

and resemble a mountain seen from below. 

As with mountains, the base of the tsunami is very

broad and strong.

Page 15: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECTIn tsunamis, the depth of the water declines while the mass of the

wave expands and rises in height.

Tsunamis may be up

to 30m high.2

Page 16: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

It is therefore very significant how the waters are likened

to a mountain. 

Page 17: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECTTsunamis are very

different to the waves we are familiar with, and are a movement of the entire depth of water.

This is not generally restricted to the surface, and may stretch for several

kilometers.

Page 18: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

They thus possess high levels of energy and move very fast.3

Scientific statements say

this about tsunamis:

Page 19: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

•In fact the tsunami crest is just the very tip of a vast mass of water in motion•Wind-driven waves and swells are confined to a shallow layer near the ocean surface, a tsunami extends thousands of feet deep into the ocean•Survivors of tsunami attacks describe them as dark "walls" of water.•Impelled by the mass of water behind them, the waves bulldoze onto the shore and inundate the coast

Page 20: 074 the tsunami effect

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

The contours of the seafloor and coastline have a profound influence on the height of the waves -- sometimes with

surprising and dangerous results.During the 1993 tsunami attack on Okushiri, Japan, the wave "run up" on the coast averaged about 15 to 20

meters (50 - 65 feet).But in one particular spot, the waves pushed into a V-

shaped valley open to the sea, concentrating the water in a tighter and tighter space.

In the end, the water ran up to 32 meters (90 feet) above sea level, about the height of an 8-story office building. 4

THE TSUNAMI EFFECT

Page 23: 074 the tsunami effect

The force applied to the sea floor causes mountainous waves to form by causing the water to rise up vertically.

Page 24: 074 the tsunami effect

Tsunami Formation:

Stage 1—Beginning: If the tsunami acts like an earthquake, the sea floor is moved up or down. As a result the mass of water moves up or down.

Page 25: 074 the tsunami effect

Separation Stage 2 —Separation: Within a few minutes,

the tsunami that starts to form divides in two, one part moving toward the depths of the ocean, the other reaching the coast.

Page 26: 074 the tsunami effect

Elevation

Stage 3—Elevation: The tsunami wave reaching the shore rises up like a huge wave when it reaches the land. 

Page 27: 074 the tsunami effect

Wave impact

Stage 4- Wave impact: The leading wave becomes pointed and appears to rise even higher. The first part of the wave to hit the land is convex in shape, which is why the water initially seems to be pulling away from the land.
