AHADITHS OF THE HOLY PROPHET, OCEANIC WORLD, Indication of profusion and extremenessAbstract
Various scholars have analyzed the historical process about the ocean studies since late 20th century. Human being relates with the world of ocean for numerous purposes.
Arabs were involved in the sea voyages before the advent of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula as the history talks about their reach to the far East Regions and China even.
The two major and prominent cities of the Arab world; Makkah and Madinah were well known for both overland and oceanic maritime links which provides us appropriate background of the Holy Prophet(PBUH) to make a clear understanding of the oceanic world as we see many references of the ahadiths related to the nature and characteristics
of the ocean in the six authoritative books of ahadiths: Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan of Nasai, Sunan Abu Daud, Jami of Tirmidi and Sunan of Ibn Majah.
We find the references of the ahadiths by the following four ways:
1. Narration of the events of the previous nations
2. To give examples
3. Indication of profusion and extremeness
4. References about the maritime engagements
