مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ
اس میں نہر سویز اور نہر پاناما کی پیشگوئی ہے۔ فرمایا دو سمندر قریب قریب ہیں لیکن ان کے درمیان خشکی ہے۔ ایک دن وہ مِل جائیں گے۔ ان کی علامت یہ ہے کہ ان میں سے موتی اور مونگا نکلتا ہے۔ یہ دونوں چیزیں سویز اور پاناما سے بکثرت نکلتی ہیں۔ اور دونوں نہروں سے بحیرہ قلزم اور روم کو ایک طرف ملا دیا اور دوسری طرف بحر اوقیانوس اور بحر الکاہل کو ملا دیا ہے۔
'The two bodies of water' may be the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, or the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, particularly the former two seas. The verse embodies a great prophecy which was remarkably fulfilled by the construction of the Suez and the Panama canals, the former linking the first two seas and the latter the mighty Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The world had to wait for thirteen long centuries to see the fulfilment of this prophecy. Or, 'the two bodies of water' may signify the physical and spiritual sciences. Or, the natural laws and Divine revelation, which mistakenly considered to be mutually antagonistic, are corroborative of each other, the one being the Work of God and the other His Word.

Commentary:
"The two bodies of water" referred to in the preceding verse may be the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea on the one hand and the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean on the other, particularly the former two seas. The verse embodies a great prophecy which was remarkably fulfilled in the latter half of the nineteenth century when the Suez and the Panama Canals were constructed, the former linking the first two seas and the latter the mighty Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The world had to wait for thirteen long centuries to see the fulfilment of this prophecy, in an age of new and great discoveries and inventions in the material world. It was in the fitness of time that, concurrently, equally great discoveries should have been made in the spiritual world, the fulfilment of the above prophecy being one of them. Or البحرین (the two bodies of water) may signify the physical and spiritual sciences. In this sense of the word the verses would mean that the two sciences—natural laws and Divine revelation, were mistakenly considered to be at logger heads, and a barrier seemed to have kept them apart, till, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, the great Divine Reformer of the age, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, succeeded in lifting that barrier and by his powerful writings unfolded the mighty truth that, instead of being antagonistic, these two sciences were corroborative of, and complementary to, each other, the one being the Work of God, and the other His Word. In this way the two seas were made to join each other.
