    Water

    2}1{ We sent down water from the sky in right measure, and

    caused it to stay in the earth, and We have the power to

    cause it to vanish (in the manner We please).Then through

    water We caused gardens of date-palms and vines to grow

    for you wherein you have an abundance of delicious fruits

    and from them you derive your livelihood. }7}7

    Did We not make the earth a receptacle, for the living and

    the dead,and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it

    and give you sweet water to drink? 2}{

    He Who sent down water from the sky in a determined

    measure, and thereby We revived a dead land: likewise will

    you be raised up (from the earth).

    So let man just consider his food:We poured water, pouring it in

    great abundance,and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder; then

    caused the grain to grow out of it, together with grapes and

    vegetables, and olives and palms, and dense orchards, and fruits

    and pastures all this as a provision for you and your cattle. }}71 Do you not see that Allah sent down water from the sky with which

    We brought forth fruits of different colors? In the mountains there

    are streaks, white and red, of different colors, and pitchy black;and

    human beings too, and beasts, and cattle diverse are their colors.

    From among His servants, it is only those who have knowledge that

    fear Allah. Verily Allah is Most Mighty, Most Forgiving. 8}2{

    He it is Who spread the earth for you; and made in it paths for you,

    and sent down water from the sky, and then through it We brought

    forth many species of diverse plants. }3{ It is He Who has made the earth a bed for you and the sky a canopy;

    and it is He Who sends down rain from above for the growth ofevery kind of food products for your sustenance. So, when you know

    this, you should not set up equals to rank with Allah. }3{

    It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth, Who sent down

    water from the heaven and thereby brought forth a variety of fruits

    as your sustenance, Who subjected for you the ships that they may

    sail in the sea by His command, Who subjected for you the rivers,

    Who subjected for you the sun and the moon and both of them areconstant on their courses, Who subjected for you the night and the

    day, and Who gave you all that you asked Him for. Were you to

    count the favours of Allah you shall never be able to encompass

    them. Verily man is highly unjust, exceedingly ungrateful.

    Allah brings the dead land back to life with water.

    }}2

    If you ask them: Who sent down water from the sky and therewith

    revived the earth after its death? they will certainly say: Allah.

    Say: To Allah alone be praise and thanks. But most people do not

    understand. }{3 You see the earth dry and barren and then no sooner than We send

    down water upon it, it begins to quiver and swell and brings forthevery kind of beauteous vegetation.All this is because Allah, He is

    the Truth, and because He resurrects the dead, and because He has

    power over everything. }8}

    We also sent down blessed water from the heaven, wherewith We

    caused gardens and harvest-grain to grow,and tall palm-trees with

    their thickly-clustered spathes; all this as sustenance for Our

    servants. And thus We do bring the dead land back to life with

    earth).}{

    And of His Signs is that you see the earth withered, then We send

    down water upon it, and lo! it quivers and swells. Surely He Who

    gives life to the dead earth will also give life to the dead. Surely He

    has power over everything. }3}2 Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky whereby

    the earth turns green? Verily Allah is Subtle, All-Aware. -}{ Allah sends down water from the heaven, and thereby He instantly

    revives the earth after it lay dead. Verily there is a sign in it for those

    who have ears. 7}7{ Know well that Allah revives the earth after it becomes lifeless. We

    have clearly shown Our Signs to you, perhaps you will use your reason.

    The two masses of water

    }3{ The two masses of water are not alike. The one is sweet, sates thirst,

    and is pleasant to drink from, while the other is salt, bitter on the

    tongue. Yet from both you eat fresh meat, and extract from itornaments that you wear; and you see ships cruising through it that

    you may seek of His Bounty and be thankful to Him.

    }3{

    We send fertilizing winds, and then cause rain to descend from the

    sky, providing you abundant water to drink even though you could

    not have stored it up for yourselves. }8}1

    Allah sends the winds that stir up clouds and then He spreads them

    in the sky as He wills and splits them into different fragments,

    whereafter you see drops of rain pouring down from them. He then

    causes the rain to fall on whomsoever of His servants He wills, and

    lo, they rejoice at it, although before that they were given to

    despair.See, then, the tokens of Allah's Mercy: how He revives the

    earth after it is dead. Verily He is the One Who will revive the dead.He has power over everything.But if We were to send a wind and

    then their tilth has become yellow, they would become ungrateful

    (unbelievers). }}2

    Do you not observe that Allah makes the cloud move gently then

    joins its pieces together: then gathers it into a mass of thick

    cloud: then you see that rain-drops fall down from its midst: andHe sends down hail out of the high up mountains in the heaven:

    then He smites with it whom He wills and turns it away from

    whom He pleases: then a flash of lightning from it dazzles the

    eyes. He alternates the day and the night: there is indeed a

    lesson in it for those who have observing eyes.

    It is Allah Who sends forth winds which then set the clouds in

    motion, which We drive to some dead land giving a fresh life to

    earth after it had become dead. Such will be the resurrection of the

    dead. }7{ And it is He Who sends forth winds as glad tidings in advance of His

    Mercy, and when they have carried a heavy-laden cloud We drive itto a dead land, then We send down rain from it and bring forth

    therwith fruits of every kind. In this manner do We raise the dead

    that you may take heed. }1}

    Have We not spread the earth like a bed,and fixed the mountains

    like pegs,and created you in pairs (as men and women),and made

    your sleep a means of repose,and made the night a covering,and

    made the day to seek livelihood,and built above you seven strong

    firmaments,and placed therein a hot, shining lamp,and sent down

    abundant water from the clouds so that We may thereby bring forth

    grain and vegetation,and gardens dense with foliage? }} Surely Allah alone has the knowledge of the Hour. It is He Who sends

    down the rain and knows what is in the wombs, although no person

    knows what he will earn tomorrow, nor does he know in which land

    he will die. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. }}18

    And it is He, Who drives the winds to be the harbingers of His mercy:

    then He sends down pure water from the sky so that He may revive

    the dead land, and quench the thirst of many of His creatures fromamong animals and men.We present the same phenomenon over

    and over again before them so that they may learn a lesson from it;

    but most people decline to adopt any other attitude than of disbelief

    and ingratitude.

    The thunder celebrates His praise and holiness.

    Ask forgiveness from your Lord; He will send youabundant rain.

    }2}3

    He it is Who causes you to see lightning that inspires you withboth fear and hope, and He it is Who whips up heavy clouds.The

    thunder celebrates His praise and holiness, and the angels, too,

    celebrate His praise for awe of Him. He hurls thunderbolts,

    striking with them whom He wills while they are engaged in

    disputation concerning Allah. He is Mighty in His contriving.To

    Him alone should all prayer be addressed, for those to whom

    they do address their prayers beside Him are altogetherpowerless to respond to them. The example of praying to any

    other than Allah is that of a man who stretches out his hands to

    water, asking it to reach his mouth, although water has no

    power to reach his mouth. The prayers of the unbelievers are a

    sheer waste.

    made it flow on earth as springs and streams and rivers?

    made it flow on earth as springs and streams and rivers and then

    with it He brings forth vegetation of various colors; then this

    vegetation ripens and dries up, turning yellow, whereafter He

    reduces it to broken straw? Surely there is a lesson in this for

    those endowed with understanding.

    }}232 Have fear of Him Who has provided you with all the (good) things

    you know;Who has provided you with cattle and children and with

    gardens and springs.}-}2

    Let the dead earth be a Sign for them. We gave it life and produced

    from it grain whereof they eat.We made in it gardens of date-palms

    and vines, and We caused springs to gush forth that they might eat

    of its fruits. It was not their hands that made them. Will they not,

    then, give thanks? }}

    For there are some rocks out of which springs gush forth, and others

    which split open, and water issues out of them; then there are some

    which tumble down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of

    what you are doing.

    Is it harder to create you or the heaven? But Allah built it,and raised

    its vault high and proportioned it; and covered its night with

    darkness and brought forth from it its day; and thereafter spread

    out the earth,and brought out of it its water and its pasture,and

    firmly fixed in it mountains;all this as provision for you and your cattle.

    water,which then smoothly speed along,and execute the great task

    of apportioning (rainfall):surely what you are being warned against

    earth, who will bring you clear, flowing water?

    }}8 He created the heavens without any pillars visible to you

    and He placed mountains in the earth as pegs lest it

    should turn topsy turvy with you, and He dispersed all

    kinds of animals over the earth, and sent down water

    from the sky causing all kinds of excellent plants to grow
