In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Only God could have created water. Whoever made water would need to have designed not just water (and its properties), but also the earth (soil, mountains, rivers, seas, underground storage), animals (including humans), plants, the atmosphere and more! Who else but the Creator could do this?

[Quran 16:65] GOD sends down from the sky water to revive the land after it had died. This should be (sufficient) proof for people who hear.

[Quran 30:24] Among His proofs is that He shows you the lightning as a source of fear, as well as hope, then He sends down from the sky water to revive a land that has been dead. In these, there are sufficient proofs for people who understand.

[Quran 30:48] GOD is the One who sends the winds, to stir up clouds, to be spread throughout the sky in accordance with His will. He then piles the clouds up, then you see the rain coming down therefrom. When it falls on whomever He chooses from among His servants, they rejoice.

[Quran 14:32] GOD is the One who created the heavens and the earth, and He sends down from the sky water to produce all kinds of fruit for your sustenance. He has committed the ships to serve you on the sea in accordance with His command. He has committed the rivers as well to serve you.

[Quran 23:18] We send down from the sky water, in exact measure, then we store it in the ground. Certainly, we can let it escape.


May God help us be appreciative each time we encounter His gift of water.
