Title of photo:The hidden treasures underneath
Short description of your photo:This photograph was taken on a boat ride to Zanzibar. It highlights my fascination with the ocean. I find it interesting that there are levels to the ocean and each level has different characteristics, different forms of life etc. Life underwater is very interesting: the majority of life on earth is aquatic; as so much of the Earth's surface is underwater. Additionally, I find the continuous movement of ocean water fascinating and how these movements are categorized as tides, currents and waves. It has been proven scientifically that there is a separation between the upper and lower parts of the ocean, and that this separation is filled with waves, as if there are waves on the edge of the dark, lower portion of the sea, which we do not see, and there are waves on the shores of the sea, which we do see. This was proven in the verse below.
Which Ayat of the Quran does your photo remind you of (mention full Ayat)? : Or (their deeds) are like layers of darkness in a vast deep sea overwhelmed by a wave, above which there is another wave, above which there are clouds - layers of darkness, one above the other. When one puts forth his hand, he can hardly see it; and the one to whom Allah does not give light can have no light at all.

In the past, man could not dive to a depth of more than twenty meters because he had no special equipment. But now we can dive to the bottom of the ocean, using modern equipment, and we find intense darkness at a depth of two hundred meters. This verse mentions the darkness found in deep seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it. The discoveries in the depths of the sea give us an understanding of the verse, (layers of) darkness upon darkness. It is known that there are seven colours in the spectrum, including red, yellow, blue, green, orange, etc. When we dive down into the depths of the ocean, these colours disappear one after another, and the disappearance of each colour results in more darkness. The deep waters of seas and oceans are covered by waves, and above these waves are other waves. The second set of waves are the surface waves that we see, because the verse mentions that above the second waves there are clouds.
