Qur'anic Verse . Surat al-Rahman

In regards to Quranic verses 55:19 and 20, it mentions the creation of two seas and a barrier preventing them from mixing. However, it has been scientifically proven that they mix in minuscule amounts. How can this be explained?

Mixing in minuscule amount is itself a miracle as huge pressure from water from both sides should make full mixing between the two seas, but Allah Created barrier preventing full mixing despite the huge amounts of water from both seas. This a living miracle witnessed and admitted by scientists. Such barrier between millions of tons of waters from two seas can never be created by human beings.

Surat al-Rahman . Qur'anic Verse

I have observed that in Surah Rahman verse 54 sometimes the text is written as وَجَنَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانٍۚ and sometimes it is expressed as وَجَنَى ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانٍۢ. Is there any significance to this difference?

The right way is to write it as
وجنى الجنتين دان
Because it is from Jana yajni not Yajno.

Surat al-Rahman . Children

May I have some ideas on how to represent verse 6 of Sura Rahman to a child in a creative way?

I one saw someone teaching Surah al-Rahman by associating meaningful signs with each of the verses, so, for instance, in this verse, they pointed to stars and made trees with their hands and fingers. The idea behind this is that the human being will remember gestures and words more than gestures. You could try it!

Surat al-Rahman . Poetry

In Surah al-Rahman, do the repeating verses represent a poetic style over and above their theological meaning?

There is no question of any word in Quran mentioned just for poetic reason. Every word in Quran has its important meaning even if it was repeated in previous verses, but the meaning of it in every verse has its own situation which is different from other verses.

In Sura Al-Rahman, the verse (Fabi'ayyi Alaa'i Rabbikoma Tokaththibaan) فبأي الاء ربكما تكذبان was mentioned thirty one times, but in every time, the meaning of it is related to the immediate verse before it. Allah (SWT) in Sura Al-Rahmaan is mentioning His bounties, then asking Jinns and humans : Which bounty of your Lord you deny? This question is repeated after every bounty because every bounty is different from other bounties.
