The
Qur'an told us in a scientific way about all related facts to the water
cycle and descending of rains. Let us look attentively at these holy
verses which speak about every part of the water cycle.
- The sun is the driver of the aquatic cycle, God says :( And we have made (therein) a shining lamp (sun).)(Sûrat An-Naba’-verse13). Sun spreads the necessary heat and light to evaporate water and to form winds.
- Winds are the second driver of the aquatic cycle, God says :(
And We send the winds fertilizing (to fill heavily the clouds with
water), then cause the water (rain) to descend from the sky, and We give
it to you to drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its stores
[i.e. to give water to whom you like or to withhold it from whom you
like].)(Sûrat A-Hijr- verse 22). By the sky which returns [rain] (quran 68:11)
- Water which descends from the clouds is stored in the ground for hundreds of years without being spoiled ,taking into consideration that anyone may store the water for only couple of days it will spoil; God says:( it is not you who are the owners of its stores) ( Sûrat A-Hijr- verse 22).
- After evaporation of water it condenses in the sky in form of clouds, then winds fertilize the clouds, God says :( And we send the winds fertilizing) (Sûrat A-Hijr- verse 22).
- The Qur'an told us about the high heavy clouds which are responsible for rains and ice, God says: (See you not that Allah drives the clouds gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap of layers, and you see the rain comes forth from between them; and He sends down from the sky hail (like) mountains, (or there are in the heaven mountains of hail from where He sends down hail), and strikes therewith whom He wills, and averts it from whom He wills. The vivid flash of its (clouds) lightning nearly blinds the sight)(Sûrat An-Nûr-verse43)
- The water" which descends" is stored inside the ground in form of sweet springs to enable life to continue, God says: (See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and then makes it to spring up) as water-springs, and afterward thereby produces crops of different colors, and afterward they wither and you see them turn yellow; then He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, in this is a Reminder for men of understanding.)(Sûrat Az-Zumar-verse21). If these crops are not transferred to the yellow to be dry and broken pieces and if it remained Green, the cycle of plant wouldn't be renewed and we wouldn't get benefit from those broken pieces which transfer to be oil over hundreds of yeas.
- Scientists say that all of these operations are according to very organized and constant physical laws, God says: (And we sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure and we gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, we are Able to take it away.)(Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn-verse18). Look at the word "in due" which refers to discipline and arrangement.
- The most important part in this cycle, what is happening at the area which is called the mouth (where rivers flow in seas), Qur'an says: (And it is He who has let free the two seas (kinds of water): this is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter; and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them.)(Sûrat Al-Furqân-verse 53) .Unless Rivers are flowing in seas, those seas would be drought. That what happened in the Aral Sea which was supplying by two rivers and because of a human interruption by stopping that supplying, the sea became empty.
- Scientists say that mountains have a vital role in the descending of rains, forming the clouds and in water purification. God says: (And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have given you to drink sweet water?)(Sûrat Al-Mursalât- verse 27).In this verse a clear link between the mountains and the sweet water.
These
verses were descended 1400 year ago, with a precise description for the
water cycle which was discovered 100 years ago! Isn't this a proof
that the Qur'an is the book of Allah?
It is He Who sends down water in due measure
from the sky by which We bring a dead land back to life. That
is how you too will be raised [from the dead]. (Qur'an, 43:11)
You would not have gotten an answer if you were, a century back, to ask a scientist whose field of interest was rainfall in particular, “Is there a measure in the rainfall; can it be quantified?” Being ignorant of the meteorological phenomena going on in every part of the world, the scientist would not have been in a position to say anything on the issue.
The Quran told us 1400 years ago that the rainfall had a certain
measure. Research conducted in the last century revealed the process of
rainfall, shedding light over the cycling characteristics of water. One
of the facts discovered was that the earth’s annual rainfall was always
of the same amount. The amount per second varied between 16-17 million
tons. Thus, the amount of rain falling was above 500 trillion tons a
year while an equal amount evaporated. These yearly values remain
constant. This constancy was of great significance in establishing the
ecological balance of the world. The scientist of a few centuries back
could not have estimated the amount of the rainfall in the region where
he lived since the precipitation yearly changed according to region. He
might have concluded, therefore, that rain is not quantifiable.
