millimeter, are thrown up into the air.
These particles, known as "aerosols",
mix with dust carried from the land by
the wind, and are carried to the upper
layers of the atmosphere. These parti-
cles carried to higher altitudes by
winds come into contact with water
vapour up there. Water vapour con-
denses around these particles and
turns into water droplets. These water
droplets first come together and form
clouds, and then fall to the Earth in the
form of rain.
As seen, winds "fecundate" the
water vapour floating in the air with the
particles they carry from the sea, and eventually help the formation of
rain clouds.
If winds did not possess this property, water droplets in the upper at-
mosphere would never form, and there would be no such thing as rain.
The most important point here is that this critical role of the wind in
the formation of rain was stated centuries ago in a verse of the Qur'an, at
a time when people knew very little about natural phenomena…

T The Identity in the Fingerprint t

e
While it is stated in the Qur'an that it is easy for Allah to bring man
back to life after death, peoples' fingerprints are particularly emphasized:
Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his
fingers. (Surat al-Qiyama: 3-4)
The emphasis on fingerprints has a very special meaning. This is be-
cause everyone's fingerprint is unique to himself. Every person who is
alive or who has ever lived in this world has a set of unique fingerprints.
