years. Water would appear in the tube only after thou -
sands of years, and then in only very small quan ti ties.
And that is still a remote pos si bil i ty.
So how can we obtain such a vital neces si ty for life?
As you know, a high level of ener gy—there fore, a high
tem per a ture—is nec es sa ry for cer tain mol e cu les to come
into being or under go chan ges. The same applies to water.
In order for two mol e cu les of hydro gen (H) and one of
oxy gen (O), to com bine togeth er and form water, they
need to con tact one anoth er. During that proc ess, the
chem i cal bonds that form the hydro gen and oxy gen mol -
e cu les weak en, and the atoms link up in such a way as to
cre ate a new mol e cule: water. At present, the tem per a -
tures on Earth are too low to per mit any pos si bil i ty of new
water for ma tion. The water cur rent ly on Earth is at a level
formed as a result of the high tem per a tures dur ing the
birth of the plan et. 14 That amount can never change.
Under the effect of dif fer ing tem per a tures, water can be
found in three dif fer ent states. Solid-state water appears
in the form of giant polar ice caps, where it seems to have
been espe cial ly reserved. The water we use even tu al ly
evap o rates and rises into the air in its gas e ous state, and
returns to Earth in a liq uid form—rain. Thus the water
you drink, use and absorb with the food you eat reg u lar -
ly returns to us in a more puri fied form. In short, by
means of its spe cial ly impart ed fea tures, we can use the
same water over and over again. At Allah's behest, water
is con stant ly bestowed on us in a puri fied state:
. . . We send down from heav en pure water so that by
it We can bring a dead land to life and give drink to
many of the ani mals and peo ple We cre at ed. (Surat al-
Furqan: 48-49)
