THE SEA SET ON FIRE
And by the sea kept filled (or it will be fire kindled on the Day of Resurrection).
(Surat At-Tur (the Mount):6)

This Quranic verse also comes in the context of an oath to emphasize the special significance of the subject matter by which the oath is given, as Allah (all glory be to Him) is definitely above the need to give such an oath. Now, what is the special significance of the ocean that is set on fire? Both water and fire were never thought to co-exist, as water quiches fire, and fire sets water to boiling and evaporation. How then can an ocean full of water be set on fire 7 Such contradiction has driven early commentators on the Glorious Quran to suggest that this could only happen on the Last Day, depending on another Quranic verse where such event is explicitly described
"And when the seas become as blazing Fire or overflow."
(Surat At-Takwir (Wound Round and Lost its Light):6).
Nevertheless, the context in which the oath And by the sea kept filled (or it will be fire kindled on the Day of Resurrection).
