Water in the Qur'an 243

ALLAH'S THRONE
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days when His
Throne was on the water, in order to test which of you has the best ac-
tions. If you say, 'You will be raised up after death,' those who disbe-
lieve will say, 'This is nothing but downright magic.' (Surah Hud, 7)

ALLAH CREATED EVERYTHING FROM WATER
Do those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth
were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made

Allah created every animal from water. Some of them go on their
