THE TWO SEAS NOT MIXING — IS THIS A MIRACLE OF ALLAH OR A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE?

Today I will respond to the weak argument Muslims make regarding the claim that the waters of two seas do not mix. Is this truly a miracle, or just a lack of basic physics knowledge?

To understand what actually happens regarding the non-mixing of waters, it’s best we start by learning 4th-grade Physics about density.

ALLAH in the Quran, Surah 18:60-82 says:
"And remember when Moses said to his servant: 'I will not stop until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period.'”

So, when Muslims saw pictures of what they claimed were the meeting of two seas, they connected this with this verse, claiming it as a miracle of Allah. Fortunately, here at Max Shimba Ministries, we have well-trained scholars in science, mathematics, and biology. So today we’ll respond to Muslims using science.

Let’s begin with the principle of Density:

WHAT IS DENSITY?

DENSITY = MASS / VOLUME

Density is a measure comparing the mass and the volume of a substance. Its physical symbol is ρ (rho).

A body with high density contains more matter in a given volume, while one with low density contains less matter in the same volume. Higher density is what makes us call an object "heavy."

The usual units for density are g/cm³ and kg/m³.

To put it logically:

Fresh water without salt has a density of 1. One liter weighs one kilogram.

WHAT IS MASS?

In physics, mass is a property of matter — and consequently also of an object or a substance.

The standard international unit of mass is the kilogram (kg), usually denoted by m in formulas.

WHAT IS VOLUME?

Volume describes the size or space occupied by a geometrical object (like a cube, sphere, or cylinder) by measuring the space within it.

It’s measured in units of cubic meters (m³) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Any object with length, width, and height has volume.

SALT WATER:

Salt water is water that contains a certain amount of dissolved salt. Normally, every type of water contains some level of dissolved salt.

On average, ocean water has about 3.5% salt (35 g/L, 599 mM). This means every kilogram (roughly a liter) of seawater contains approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts — mostly sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻).


THE DIFFERENCE IN DENSITY BETWEEN THE TWO WATERS

Now, here is where physics comes in:
When water with high salt content (like seawater) meets water with lower salt content (like river water), they do not mix immediately because of the difference in their densities.

The water with higher salt content is denser, meaning it has more mass per given volume than freshwater. This causes the two to initially form a boundary when they meet, a phenomenon scientists call a halocline — a separation layer caused by the difference in salinity (saltiness).

This natural occurrence happens in many places on earth, for example at the point where rivers flow into seas or oceans. Over time, currents, tides, and winds gradually mix the waters together, but at the point of contact, there’s often a visible difference in color and texture due to salinity and temperature differences.

IS THIS A MIRACLE?

The answer is no — it’s basic physical science, specifically fluid dynamics and density difference.

It’s a known, studied, and explained phenomenon in oceanography, and it has nothing to do with divine intervention or miracles. Anyone with a basic knowledge of physics or earth science understands this principle.

CONCLUSION

So the Muslim claim that this is a miracle mentioned by Allah in the Quran is baseless and comes from a lack of knowledge about natural science.

It’s not a miracle, but a normal occurrence explainable by the laws of nature created by God.

We pray that our dear Muslim friends may leave these unscientific claims and come to the true knowledge of the living God through Jesus Christ.

Shalom,
Max Shimba, servant of the Most High God, Jesus Christ.



ALLAH FAILED TO TELL US HOW MANY GARDENS ARE IN THE AFTERLIFE

Once again, Allah brings confusion in his Quran — which I can now boldly say is full of doubt, contradictions, and man-made like the tales of Aladdin.

ONE GARDEN:

In Surat Al-Hadid 57:21
“Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and for Paradise whose width is as the width of the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. That is the grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He pleases. And Allah is the Lord of immense grace.”

In this verse above, it says “Paradise” (singular), implying there is only one Garden (Jannah).
You’ll also see this in 41:30 [the Garden], 57:21 [a Garden], and 79:41 [the Garden].

BUT WHEN I READ FURTHER IN THE QURAN, I FOUND THIS CONTRADICTION:

MANY GARDENS:

In Surat Al-Kahf 18:31
“For them will be Gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, reclining therein upon adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.”

And more such references: 22:23, 35:33, 78:32 — each time using the plural “Gardens”.

The verse above says “Gardens” (plural). Now you already understand — it is no longer one garden as claimed in Surat Al-Hadid 57:21.

Dear reader, we have already dismantled Allah and his man-made Quran, just as Islam itself was fabricated.

I have nothing more to add except to pray for our Muslim brothers and sisters to come to Jesus, the Almighty God.

For those who understand English:
How many Gardens are there in Paradise?

Shalom,
Max Shimba, servant of Jesus Christ.

CONTRADICTION IN THE QURAN: WHAT WILL BE THE FOOD OF THE PEOPLE IN HELL?

Today, Allah has supposedly told us what the people in Jahannam (Hell) will eat. Let’s read the verses below:

Quran 88:6
“They will have no food except from a bitter, thorny plant.”

Quran 69:36
“Nor any food except the discharge (pus) from the wounds of those in the Fire.”

Now notice where the contradiction comes in:

Quran 37:62-68

62. Is this (Paradise) the better welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
63. Truly, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.
64. It is a tree that grows in the bottom of Hell.
65. Its fruits are like the heads of devils.
66. And they will surely eat from it and fill their bellies with it.
67. Then they will drink boiling, scalding water on top of it.
68. Then indeed their return will be to the blazing Fire.

Brothers and sisters, the Quran is a very strange book, because it contradicts itself in many places. Today we have seen what people will eat in Jahannam, and on this single subject alone, the Quran presents three contradictions:

  1. “Eating the fruits of the tree of Zaqqum” (37:66) contradicts “Eating only bitter thorny plants (Dhari)” (88:6).

  2. “Eating the fruits of the tree of Zaqqum” (37:66) contradicts “Eating only filthy pus” (69:36).

  3. “Eating only bitter thorny plants (Dhari)” (88:6) contradicts “Eating only filthy pus” (69:36).

The Quran is full of contradictions and is not a book from Almighty God.

May God bless you all.

Debate Challenge: The Absence of “Islam” and “Muslims” in Pre-Quranic Scriptures

Proposed by: Dr. Maxwell Shimba

Shimba Theological Institute

Topic: Do the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel mention Islam or Muslims as claimed by Islam?

Opening Statement:

Muslims claim that prophets such as Moses, David, and Jesus were all Muslims and preached Islam. However, upon examination of the scriptures that existed before the Quran — namely the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel — it becomes clear that:

  1. In the Torah of Moses, there is no mention of the word “Islam” or “Muslims.”

  2. In the Gospel of Jesus, there is no mention of the word “Islam” or “Muslims.”

  3. In the Psalms of David, there is no mention of the word “Islam” or “Muslims.”

Debate Questions:

A. Why do Muslims claim that Moses was a Muslim when the Torah that predates the Quran neither contains the word Islam nor refers to Muslims?

B. Why do Muslims claim that Jesus was a Muslim when the Gospel that existed before the Quran neither contains the word Islam nor refers to Muslims?

C. Why do Muslims claim that David was a Muslim when the Psalms that predate the Quran neither contain the word Islam nor refer to Muslims?

If Muslims dispute this, then I respectfully challenge them to produce:

  1. A preserved, authentic copy of the original Torah, allegedly revealed by Allah to Moses, along with a verse declaring Moses was a Muslim.

  2. A preserved, authentic copy of the original Gospel, allegedly revealed by Allah to Jesus, along with a verse declaring Jesus was a Muslim.

  3. A preserved, authentic copy of the original Psalms, allegedly revealed by Allah to David, along with a verse declaring David was a Muslim.

Quranic Acknowledgment:

The Quran itself asserts in Surah 15:9 that Allah has preserved the previous scriptures — the Torah and Gospel.
It also references them in Surah 16:43, 21:7, 21:48, 21:105, and 40:53-54.

If the Quran’s claims are true:

  • Where is the preserved copy of the original Torah before the Quran?

  • Where is the preserved copy of the original Gospel before the Quran?

  • Where is the preserved copy of the original Psalms before the Quran?

Final Challenge:
If any Muslim scholar or apologist can present these preserved scriptures with the specified content, I, Dr. Maxwell Shimba, will publicly accept Islam and become a Muslim today.

Thank you.

IN THE TORAH, PSALMS, AND GOSPEL, THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE WORD “ISLAM” OR “MUSLIMS”

  1. In the Torah of Moses, there is no word "Islam" or "Muslims."

  2. In the Gospel of Jesus, there is no word "Islam" or "Muslims."

  3. In the Psalms of David, there is no word "Islam" or "Muslims."

A. Why do Muslims claim that Moses was a Muslim, when the Torah that existed before the Quran does not state this, nor does it contain the word Islam or Muslims?

B. Why do Muslims claim that Jesus was a Muslim, when the Gospel that existed before the Quran does not state this, nor does it contain the word Islam or Muslims?

C. Why do Muslims claim that David was a Muslim, when the Psalms that existed before the Quran do not state this, nor do they contain the word Islam or Muslims?

If Muslims disagree with this, then let them show us:

  • Where is the Torah that Allah supposedly revealed to Moses so we can read it for ourselves? And show us a verse from it stating that Moses was a Muslim.

Now, the Quran itself claims that Allah has preserved the Torah and Gospel.
This is affirmed in Surah 15:9.
We also find references to the Torah and Gospel as records in Surah 16:43, 21:7, 21:48, 21:105, and 40:53-54.

Therefore, Surah 15:9 acknowledges that the Torah and Gospel have been preserved by Allah.
If this claim of the Quran is true:

  1. Where is the preserved copy of the Torah that Allah revealed before the Quran?

  2. Where is the preserved copy of the Gospel that Allah revealed before the Quran?

  3. Where is the preserved copy of the Psalms that Allah revealed before the Quran?

Debate Challenge: The Book of Moses (Musa) in Islam

Proposed by: Dr. Maxwell Shimba

Shimba Theological Institute

Topic: Where is the Book that was given to Moses (Musa) by Allah before the birth of Muhammad?

Opening Statement:

Islamic belief asserts that Moses (Musa) was a prophet and a Muslim, and that he was given a divine scripture known as the Taurat (Torah) by Allah. The Quran itself confirms this in:

Surah Al-Baqarah 2:136:
"Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit."

If it is true, as Muslims believe, that Moses received a divine Book from Allah, then the following questions must be answered directly and with evidence:

Debate Questions:

  1. Where is the preserved copy of the Taurat (Torah) that Allah revealed to Moses before the Quran? Muslims, please provide its location or a verifiable source.

  2. To which specific Ummah (nation or people) was Moses sent as a prophet? Kindly mention the name of that Ummah.

  3. Present a verse from the original Book of Moses (Taurat) revealed before the Quran, in which Moses himself declares the Islamic Shahada (testifying that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger).

Important Note:
Quranic verses will not be accepted as evidence, because the Quran was revealed long after Moses’ time. The inquiry is strictly about the original Taurat that Allah supposedly gave Moses before the Quran.

Final Challenge:
If any Muslim scholar or apologist can provide authentic, historical, and textual proof to answer the questions above —
I, Dr. Maxwell Shimba, will accept Islam and become a Muslim today.

Thank you.
Shalom,

WHERE IS THE BOOK THAT WAS GIVEN TO MOSES (MUSA) BY ALLAH BEFORE THE BIRTH OF MUHAMMAD?

ALLAH AND MUSLIMS CLAIM THAT MOSES WAS A PROPHET AND A MUSLIM:

Allah further states that He revealed the Taurat (Torah) to His prophet Moses.

Surah Al-Baqarah 2:136:
Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.

If it is indeed true that Moses was given a Book by Allah, then I ask for answers to the following questions:

Questions:

  1. Where is the copy of the Taurat (Torah) that Allah revealed to Moses before the Quran? Can you produce it or indicate its whereabouts?

  2. Which specific Ummah (nation or community) was Moses sent to as a prophet? Kindly mention the name of that Ummah.

  3. Provide evidence — a verse from the original Book of Moses — where Moses himself recites the Islamic Shahada (bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger).

NOTE: Quranic verses are not acceptable here because those verses are not the original Taurat of Moses that was revealed before the Quran.

Debate Challenge: The Book of David (Dawud) in Islam

Proposed by: Dr. Maxwell Shimba

Shimba Theological Institute

Topic: Where is the Book that was given to David (Dawud) by Allah before the birth of Muhammad?

Opening Statement:

According to Islamic belief, David (Dawud) is recognized as a prophet and a Muslim. Muslims, alongside the Quran, affirm that Allah gave David a divine scripture known as the Zabur (Psalms). The Quran itself testifies to this in:

Surah An-Nisaa 4:163:
"Indeed, We have revealed to you (O Muhammad) as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon — and to David We gave the Zabur (Psalms)."

If it is true that Allah sent down the Zabur to David, then the following critical questions require clear, evidence-based answers from the Muslim side:

Debate Questions:

  1. To which specific Ummah (nation or community) was David sent as a prophet? Muslims, kindly state the name of that Ummah.

  2. Where is a preserved, verifiable copy of the original Zabur that Allah revealed to David before the Quran?

  3. In which city did David receive this divine scripture from Allah?

  4. Can you provide a verse from the original Zabur (prior to the Quran) where David himself declares the Islamic Shahada (bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger)?

Important Note:
Quranic verses are not acceptable as evidence in response to these questions, because the Quran was revealed long after David’s time. The inquiry pertains specifically to the Zabur that was allegedly revealed before the Quran.

Final Challenge:
If any Muslim scholar, cleric, or apologist can present authentic, historical, and textual proof addressing the four questions above —
I, Dr. Maxwell Shimba, will publicly accept Islam today.

Thank you.

WHERE IS THE BOOK THAT WAS GIVEN TO DAVID (DAWUD) BY ALLAH BEFORE THE BIRTH OF MUHAMMAD?

ALLAH AND MUSLIMS CLAIM THAT DAVID WAS A PROPHET AND A MUSLIM:

ALLAH SAYS: “AND TO DAVID WE GAVE THE PSALMS.”

Surah An-Nisaa 4:163:
Indeed, We have revealed to you (O Muhammad) as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon — and to David We gave the Psalms (Zabur).

If it’s true that Allah revealed the Psalms to David, then the following questions must be answered:

  1. Which Ummah (nation) was David sent as a prophet to? Muslims, please mention the name of that Ummah.

  2. Where is a copy of the Psalms (Zabur) that Allah revealed to David before the Quran?

  3. In which city did David receive this Zabur?

  4. Provide a verse from the Zabur that Allah revealed before the Quran in which DAVID recites the Shahada.

NOTE: I’m not interested in Quran verses here, because those are not the Psalms that were revealed before the Quran.

IF YOU CAN PROVIDE PROOF FOR MY QUESTIONS ABOVE,
THEN TODAY I WILL BECOME A MUSLIM.

WHERE IS THE BOOK THAT WAS GIVEN TO ABRAHAM BY ALLAH BEFORE THE BIRTH OF MUHAMMAD?


ALLAH AND MUSLIMS CLAIM THAT ABRAHAM WAS A PROPHET AND A MUSLIM:

Quran 10:47:
And for every nation there is a messenger. When their messenger comes, it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged.

Look at this verse too:

Quran 14:4:
And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to make [the message] clear for them. Then Allah leaves astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Surah 3:67 (Shakir translation):
Ibrahim was not a Jew, nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists.

Allah says every nation was given a prophet and a message — a “Book” — and that Ibrahim was a Muslim. SO NOW:

  1. Muslims — tell me the name of the book that was given to Ibrahim by Allah.

  2. Bring me evidence — a verse from that book — where Ibrahim declared the Shahada.

  3. Tell me the name of the nation (Ummah) that Ibrahim was sent as a prophet to.

  4. Allah says Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian. If that claim is true, why do Muslims claim that Christianity was invented by Paul, while Allah Himself admits that even during Ibrahim’s time there was Christianity?

NOTE: I am not concerned with Quran verses here, because those are not the Book that was revealed to Ibrahim before the Quran.
