226 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

from anyone He wills. The brightness of His lightning almost blinds
the sight. (Surat an-Nur, 43)
It is He Who sends out the winds, bringing advance news of His
mercy. And We send down from heaven pure water so that by it We
can bring a dead land to life and give drink to many of the animals and
people We created. (Surat al-Furqan, 48-49)
He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water
for you from the sky by which We make luxuriant gardens grow – you
could never make their trees grow. Is there another god besides Allah?
No indeed, but they are people who equate others with Him! (Surat
an-Naml, 60)
If you ask them, 'Who sends down water from the sky, bringing the
earth back to life again after it was dead?' they will say, 'Allah.' Say:
'Praise be to Allah.' But most of them do not use their intellect. (Surat
al-'Ankabut, 63)
Truly Allah has knowledge of the Hour and sends down abundant
rain and knows what is in the womb. And no self knows what it will
earn tomorrow and no self knows in what land it will die. Allah is All-
Knowing, All-Aware. (Surah Luqman, 34)
Do they not see how We drive water to barren land and bring forth
crops by it which their livestock and they themselves both eat? So will
they not see? (Surat as-Sajda, 27)
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky and by it
We bring forth fruits of varying colours? And in the mountains there
are streaks of white and red, of varying shades, and rocks of deep jet
black. (Surah Fatir, 27)
Among His Signs is that you see the earth laid bare and then when
We send down water on it, it quivers and swells. He Who gives it life is
He Who gives life to the dead. Certainly He has power over all things.
(Surah Fussilat, 39)
It is He Who sends down abundant rain, after they have lost all
hope, and unfolds His mercy. He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.
(Surat ash-Shura, 28)
And We sent down blessed water from the sky and made gardens
grow by it and grain for harvesting. (Surah Qaf, 9)
