Samal Genesis

In the beginning, when there were no creatures yet, there was only the

sea. Floating on this sea was a thing resembling a ball. This was the abode of

God the Most High. When he wanted to bring out his creations, the ball split;

one half of it rose and became heaven (with seven levels) and the lower half

remained and became the earth (with seven levels).

Now the sea on which the ball was floating was called Baharun Nur [Bahar, great waters, mighty

rivers; Nur, light], meaning, this was the ancestor of all which floated on it.

Symbolically, the part which was lifted up was the father, and the grandfather

was the sea on which it floated. Now at the same time of the splitting of the

ball, and as God willed it, all men and all the creatures on earth have already

been believed as being in it.
