m-r-j

Description

The Arabic root م-ر-j (m-r-j) carries the core meaning of mixing, mingling, or letting things flow freely together. In the Quran, it appears most notably in Surah Ar-Rahman describing how Allah has released (maraja) the two seas to meet yet not transgress their boundaries, and also in describing marjan (coral) which forms from the interaction of marine elements. The root emphasizes divine control over natural processes where different elements mix or merge, whether waters meeting, flames mixing with air, or minerals forming through combination, highlighting Allah's precise management of seemingly chaotic interactions in creation.
