Notes
This question is repeated 31 times in this chapter.
Here is my answer to it: All of them. (I'm only going to say that one time.)
Allah is proud of creating the jinn - who a are evil, genie-like creatures.
Here's what they look like.
No one knows what this nonsensical statement means.
Of course, this also is nonsense. What two seas did Allah let loose? The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, perhaps? No, that can't be it, since they most definitely meet.
Sounds like a threat to me.
More nonsense from Allah. No one knows what he's talking about here.
