All I want for Christmas Is yoooou <| sep |> But with health insurance this time <| sep |> It doesn ' t mention Mecca , but it is addressed to the audience of the Qur ' anYou pull fish from two seas , separated by a barrier to stop them mixing , one salty and one sweet paraphrased . So the author of the Qur ' an is addressing an audience of fishermen that are familiar with two seas separated by a land barrier , one more salty than the other the Med tastes noticably more salty than any other sea due to its ancient history as a dry saltpan . A Meccan or Medinian audience doesn ' t match this geographic description . A Petran audience does . This argument can be run again with the kind of agricultural allusions the Qur ' an makes The Qur ' an ' s audience is said by the Qur ' an to be engaging in the kind of agriculture that fits the Levant on the Mediterranean coast but doesn ' t fit the Hijaz .
