Each year on average, 505 trillion tons of water fall
on Earth. This amount does not alter from one year
to another. This is an example of the fact that Allah
creates everything in due measure and balance.

Dear Children! It is very fascinating that Allah
94 refers to an exact measure, or amount, in which He
sends down water from the sky, as is the discovery
that the amount falling every year is constant. Here,
the parallel is very striking.
The evaporation and condensation of equal
amounts of water mentioned above, that is the "water
cycle," maintains the continuity of life on Earth.
Maintaining this measure artificially would be impos-
sible, even if all contemporary technological means
were put to use.
A minor change in the water cycle would cause
great instability in nature in a very short time, which
