وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ ۖ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا ۖ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الْبَحْرَانِ هَـذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَآئِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهَـذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْماً طَرِيّاً وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
(12. And the two seas (kinds of water) are not alike: this is palatable, sweet and pleasant to drink, and that is salty and bitter. And from them both you eat fresh tender meat (fish), and derive the ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships cleaving, that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may give thanks.)
Allah says, pointing out His mighty power in creating different things, how He has created the two seas (kinds of water). The fresh, palatable sea (kind of water) refers to the rivers which flow among people, rivers great and small according to people's needs in all regions and areas and lands. This water is sweet and palatable for whoever wants to drink it.
وَهَـذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ
and that is salty and bitter. means, unpalatable. This is the ocean in which the big ships sail, and is salty and undrinkable. Alla0h says:
وَهَـذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ
(and that is salty and bittery.) Then Allah says:
وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْماً طَرِيّاً
(And from them both you eat fresh tender meat,) meaning, fish.
وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا
(and derive the ornaments that you wear.) This is like the Ayah:
يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا الُّلؤْلُؤُ وَالمَرْجَانُ فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
(Out of them both come out pearl and coral. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both (Jinn and men) deny) (55:22-23).
وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ
And you see the ships cleaving, means, they travel through it, plowing through the water with their beak-shaped bows. Muja0hid said, The wind drives the ships, and the wind cannot drive any ships except the big ones.
وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِ
that you may seek of His bounty, means, through your journeys to engage in trade from one land to another.
وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
and that you may give thanks. means, that you may give thanks to your Lord for subjugating this mighty creation -- the sea -- to you, so that you can travel through it as you wish and go wherever you want, and nothing stops you؛ His power has subjugated for you whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and all of this is by His grace and mercy.

Ayat ini menerangkan tentang kekuasaan Allah, hikmah-Nya dan rahmat-Nya, bahwa Dia menjadikan dua buah laut (satu laut dan satu lagi sungai) untuk maslahat penduduk bumi, dan bahwa keduanya tidaklah sama, karena maslahat menghendaki agar sungai-sungai itu tawar dan segar lagi sedap diminum sehingga dapat diminum dan dapat dipakai untuk menyirami tanaman, sedangkan laut terasa asin lagi pahit agar tidak merusak udara yang meliputi bumi dan agar keadaan airnya tidak berubah, karena air laut itu diam tidak mengalir, maka dengan dijadikan asin menghalanginya untuk berubah dan agar hewan yang hidup di sana (ikannya) lebih indah dan lebih nikmat.
Yakni ikan yang mudah dijaring di laut.
Seperti mutiara, marjan dan perhiasan lainnya yang diperoleh dari dalam lautan. Ini merupakan maslahat yang sangat besar bagi hamba. Termasuk maslahat di laut adalah Allah menundukan laut agar dapat membawa kapal, di mana kita melihat kapal membelah lautan, pindah dari tempat yang satu ke tempat yang lain. Kapal itu membawa penumpangnya, barang-barang berat dan perdagangan mereka. Sehingga karena karunia Allah dan ihsan-Nya itu tercapailah banyak maslahat.
Dengan berdagang.
