Verse 35:10 says:
Whoever desires glory and power [should know that] all glory and power belong to Allah, belong to Him might and invincibility, in this world and in the Hereafter, and it cannot be obtained from Him except through obedience to Him, so let such [a one] be obedient to Him.
To Him ascends good words, that is to say, He is aware of such [good words], and these are [statements such as] ‘there is no god except Allah’ and the like; and as for righteous action, He exalts it, He accepts it; but those who plot evil, schemes against the Prophet Muhammad [as was the case] at the council assembly, in the way of imprisoning him, killing him or expelling him, as mentioned in the verse 8:30 of the Noble Quran] — theirs shall be a severe chastisement and their plotting shall come to nothing: it shall be ruined.
In other words, unto Him good words, the expression “there is no deity save Allah” (ascend, and the pious deed doth He exalt) He accepts pious deeds through the profession of “there is no deity except Allah”; (but those who plot iniquities) those who associate partners with Allah; it is also said this means: those who scheme to expel, imprison or assassinate Muhammad, theirs will be an awful doom, as awful as can be; (and the plotting of such (folk will come to naught) will not succeed. Historically, this happened in the life of this world, however, await to see their outcome in the afterlife.
Verse 35:11 says:
Allah created you from dust, He created you from Adam and Adam is from dust, then from a little fluid, the sperm drops of your fathers, then He made you pairs, the male and female. No female bears a child gives birth after the full period of pregnancy or prematurely (save with His knowledge) save with the knowledge and command of Allah. (And no one grows old who grows old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a Book) except that it is recorded in the Guarded and Preserved Tablet.
(Lo! That) recording that (is easy for Allah) even without writing.
Verse 35:12 says:
(And the two seas) the sweet and salty (are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, food to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both) the sweet and salty seas (ye eat fresh meat) fresh fish (and derive) especially from the salty sea (the ornament) gems and pearls (that ye wear. And you see the ship cleaving them) i.e. the seas (with its prow) coming and going driven by the same wind (that ye may seek of His bounty) of His provision, (and that haply ye may give thanks) so that you may give thanks for His bounty.
It is very amazing that the Quran talks about a sweet water coming from a sea; it is discovered recently that this scientific fact said by the Noble Quran is true.
Can anyone tells who taught Muhammad that there are sweet water in sea?

Verses 35:10-12 in different English translations of their meanings:
QARIB:
10) He who wants might, the might belongs to Allah altogether. to him ascend good words, and the righteous deed he raises. but those who devise evil deeds theirs shall be a terrible punishment, and their plotting shall be annulled.
11) Allah created you from dust, then from a (sperm) drop. then he made you pairs. no female conceives or is delivered except by his knowledge. he whose life is long, whatsoever is increased or decreased of his age is in a clear book. surely, that is easy for Allah.
12) The two seas are not alike. one is fresh, sweet and pleasant to taste, while the other is salt and bitter. yet, from each you eat fresh flesh and bring forth out of it ornaments for you to wear. and you see the ships plow their course through it so that you may seek his bounty, and in order that you give thanks.
SHAKIR:
10) Whoever desires honor, then to Allah belongs the honor wholly. to him do ascend the good words; and the good deeds, lift them up, and (as for) those who plan evil deeds, they shall have a severe chastisement; and (as for) their plan, it shall perish
11) And Allah created you of dust, then of the life-germ, then he made you pairs; and no female bears, nor does she bring forth, except with his knowledge; and no one whose life is lengthened has his life lengthened, nor is aught diminished of one’s life, but it is all in a book; surely this is easy to Allah
12) And the two seas are not alike: the one sweet, that subdues thirst by its excessive sweetness, pleasant to drink; and the other salt, that burns by its saltness; yet from each of them you eat fresh flesh and bring forth ornaments which you wear; and you see the ships cleave through it that you may seek of his bounty and that you may be grateful
PICKTHAL:
10) Whoso desireth power (should know that) all power belongeth to Allah. unto him good words ascend, and the pious deed doth he exalt; but those who plot iniquities, theirs will be an awful doom; and the plotting of such (folk) will come to naught.
11) Allah created you from dust, then from a little fluid, then he made you pairs (the male and female). no female beareth or bringeth forth save with his knowledge. and no-one groweth old who groweth old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a book, lo! that is easy for Allah.
12) And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. and from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. and thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of his bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks.
YUSUFALI:
10) If any do seek for glory and power,- to Allah belong all glory and power. to him mount up (all) words of purity: it is he who exalts each deed of righteousness. those that lay plots of evil,- for them is a penalty terrible; and the plotting of such will be void (of result).
11) And Allah did create you from dust; then from a sperm-drop; then he made you in pairs. and no female conceives, or lays down (her load), but with his knowledge. nor is a man long-lived granted length of days, nor is a part cut off from his life, but is in a decree (ordained). all this is easy to Allah.
12) Nor are the two bodies of flowing water alike,- the one palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, and the other, salt and bitter. yet from each (kind of water) do ye eat flesh fresh and tender, and ye extract ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah that ye may be grateful.
