Water in the Qur'an 247

THE CITY ON WHICH A FATAL RAIN WAS RAINED
They themselves have come across the city which was rained on by
an evil rain. Did they not then see it? But they do not expect to rise
again. (Surat al-Furqan, 40)

THE RAIN OF THOSE WHO ARE WARNED
And made a Rain come pouring down upon them. How evil is the
rain of those who are warned! (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 173)

ALLAH DROWNED DISBELIEVING NATIONS
We seized each one of them for their wrong actions. Against some
We sent a sudden squall of stones; some of them were seized by the
Great Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We
drowned. Allah did not wrong them; rather they wronged themselves.
(Surat al-'Ankabut, 40)

FLOOD OF 'IRAM
But they turned away so We unleashed against them the flood of
'Iram from the great dam and exchanged their two gardens for two
others containing bitter-tasting plants and tamarisk and a few lote
trees. (Surah Saba', 16)
