* Note 081:007. The translation that levels in ocean will be “raised” has many examples that we can see. Tsunamis when an ocean appears swollen or boiling by natural events like the under-water quakes. Oceans when sea-levels rise by melting of huge glaciers regardless of the global warming effects. Reservoirs when dams collect water to raise levels for the irrigation or nationalist political purposes. Lakes when they appear ablaze by massive fire-work displays or lighting of the recreational boats. Big bodies of water when one is dynamited to connect it with another through some water-way. Canals [like Panama] dug up to raise ships to a higher sea. Sea-fights that set enemy ships on fire. The word سُجِّرَتۡ has all above meanings (Lane).
Some people have extrapolated the word سُجِّرَتۡ as drained rivers or dried lakes. Such translations may appear to contradict the meanings ‘raised’ which are chosen above. But really the translation of the word as raised implies the meanings of drained up as well. An example is the Aral Sea of which I read (Acknowledgements – 5) in the magazine Wired. The article gave details how from its former shore-line it had shrunk inland by many miles. The ships and large boats were shown just abandoned on the dry parched former lake-bed. A pilot flying for years over Aral on International flights had provided visual confirmation. And a quick search for this fact was further found in the following quote in the Wikipedia.
“The Aral Sea (Kazakh: Арал Теңізі Aral Teñizi; Mongolian: Арал тэнгис; Russian: Ара́льское море, tr. Aral’skoye Morye; IPA: [ɐˈralʲskəjə ˈmorʲɪ]; Tajik: Баҳри Арал Bahri Aral; older Persian: دریای خوارزم Daryâ-ye Khârazm) was an endorheic lake lying between Kazakhstan (Aktobe and Kyzylorda provinces) in the north and Uzbekistan (Karakalpakstan autonomous region) in the south. The name roughly translates as “Sea of Islands”, referring to over 1,100 islands that once dotted its waters; in Mongolian aral means “island”.[3] The Aral Sea drainage basin encompasses Uzbekistan and parts of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.[4]
Formerly one of the four largest lakes in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea has been steadily shrinking since the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 2007, it had declined to 10% of its original size, splitting into four lakes – the North Aral Sea, the eastern and western basins of the once far larger South Aral Sea, and one smaller lake between the North and South Aral Seas.[5] By 2009, the southeastern lake had disappeared and the southwestern lake had retreated to a thin strip at the extreme west of the former southern sea; in subsequent years, occasional water flows have led to the southeastern lake sometimes being replenished to a small degree.[6] Satellite images taken by NASA in August 2014 revealed that for the first time in modern history the eastern basin of the Aral Sea had completely dried up.[7] The eastern basin is now called the Aralkum desert.
In an ongoing effort in Kazakhstan to save and replenish the North Aral Sea, a dam project was completed in 2005; in 2008, the water level in this lake had risen by 12 m (39 ft) compared to 2003. Salinity has dropped, and fish are again found in sufficient numbers for some fishing to be viable.[8] The maximum depth of the North Aral Sea is 42 m (138 ft) (as of 2008).[1]
The shrinking of the Aral Sea has been called “one of the planet’s worst environmental disasters”.[9][10] The region’s once-prosperous fishing industry has been essentially destroyed, bringing unemployment and economic hardship. The Aral Sea region is also heavily polluted, with consequential serious public health problems.”

The Holy Qor-aan 021:107
إِنَّ فِى هَـٰذَا لَبَلَـٰغً۬ا لِّقَوۡمٍ عَـٰبِدِين َؕ
In-na-fee-haa-zaa-la-ba-laa-ghun-lay-qao-min-aa-be-deen
Most certainly herein is a message for people who are worshipers
with the name ofعَـاٰ بِد in verse 109:005) **
** Note 021:107. We at this site do not subscribe to the additions some translators have made to the term (عَـاٰ بِدِ ينَ = worshipers) as ‘The true real believers of Islamic Monotheism who act practically on the Qur’an and the Sunnah – legal ways of the Prophet s.a.w” for the following reasons.
a. The practitioners of the teachings in the Holy Qor-aan are the Believers. But, the words ‘acting practically’ tend to include the hypocrites who only by their public actions create an illusion to that effect.
b. The teachings of the Holy Qor-aan were illustrated in all acts of the Holy Prophet s.a.w as the Best Exemplar (033:022). But the words “the Sunnah – legal ways of the Prophet” create an impression that only (i) Sunnah was his legal ways and (ii) implying that other acts were not his ‘legal ways‘. Actually neither of the two insinuations is accurate.
