Allah (SAW) ultimately appears to be saying in his parable that it make good sense to know where the land ends and the sea starts, and what is above and below it, and how deep it is (which is what fathoming is)
Otherwise you end up in dangerous situations and often drowned – which is not pleasant. But that is the same no matter what our religions are, unless we live in Coventry, England.
To their credit the Islamic world has been responsible for many advances in maritime technology, much of them can be found online. I know where this person is actually from though again his practice makes little sense.
its not even a full on conversion attempt, and why bother spamming a bunch of liberal folk who are probably one of the most friendly multicultural lot you would find online, with a report out of a centre right wing English paper, compiled by scientists who are up the road from me anyway (in fact I probably know one of them from a environment group I am in)?
there is the maritime festival in my town next week, TBH I’d rather hear about what folk in the Middle East do for their maritime festivals – I know you can’t have a booze up like we do here, but surely you must have one at some point? Perhaps it is combined with Eid, and if you don’t in your country why not start one? thats better than getting into nationalism and extremism and war which is a big temptation when you have a lot of strong hard men on board ship, and the other things they tend to get up to are forbidden by religion.
you could probably even get Ferry Corsten to spin a few tunes at it too 😉
