THE WEIGHT OF CLOUDS
THE WEIGHT OF CLOUDS
Attention is drawn to the weight of clouds in the Holy Qur'an
Surat Al-'A`rāf (The Heights) - األعراف سورة
It is He Who sends out the winds, bringing advance news of His mercy, so that when they have lifted up the heavy clouds, We dispatch them to a dead land and send down water to it, by means of which We bring forth all
kinds of fruit... (Qur'an, 7:57)
Surat Al-'A`rāf (The Heights) - األعراف سورة
Sahih InternationalAnd it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We
bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.Pickthall
And He it is Who sendeth the winds as tidings heralding His mercy, till, when they bear a cloud heavy (with rain), We lead it to a dead land, and then cause water to descend thereon and thereby bring forth fruits of every kind. Thus
bring We forth the dead. Haply ye may remember.Farsi

Surat Ar-Ra`d (The Thunder) الرعد - سورة
It is He Who shows you the lightning, striking fear and bringing hope; it is He Who heaps up the heavy clouds. (Qur'an, 13:12)
Surat Ar-Ra`d (The Thunder) الرعد - سورة
Sahih InternationalIt is He who shows you lightening, [causing] fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds.
PickthallHe it is Who showeth you the lightning, a fear and a
hope, and raiseth the heavy clouds.Farsi

THE PROPORTION OF RAIN

Surat Az-Zukhruf (The Ornaments of Gold) - الزخرف سورة
Sahih InternationalAnd who sends down rain from the sky in measured
amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -
PickthallAnd Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due)
measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
Farsiآن بوسیله و 'ن، معی بمقدار فرستاد آبی آسمان از که کسی همان

THE PROPORTION OF RAIN
This measured quantity in rain has again been discovered by modern research.
It is estimated that in one second, approximately 16 million tons of water
evaporates from the Earth.This figure amounts to 513 trillion tons of water in one year. This number is equal to the amount of rain that falls on the Earth in
a year.
THE PROPORTION OF RAIN
Therefore, water continuously circulates in a balanced cycle, according to a
"measure." Life on Earth depends on this water cycle.Even if all the available technology in the
world were to be employed for this purpose, this cycle could not be
reproduced artificially.
THE PROPORTION OF RAIN
Even a minor deviation in this equilibrium would soon give rise to a
major ecological imbalance that would bring about the end of life on Earth.
Yet, it never happens, and rain continues to fall every year in exactly the same measure, just as revealed in
the Qur'an.
THE PROPORTION OF RAIN
The proportion of rain does not merely apply to its quantity, but also to the speed of the falling
raindrops.The speed of raindrops, regardless
of their size, does not exceed a certain limit.

THE PROPORTION OF RAIN
Every year, the amount of water that evaporates and that falls back to the Earth in
the form of rain is "constant": 513 trillion tons.
This constant amount is declared in the Qur'an by the expression "sending down
water in due measure from the sky." The constancy of this quantity is very
important for the continuity of the ecological balance, and therefore, life.
The speed of rain
Philipp Lenard, a German physicist who received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1905, found
that the fall speed increased with drop diameter until a size of 4.5
mm (0.18 inch).
The speed of rain
For larger drops, however, the fall speed did not increase beyond 8 metres per second (26 ft/sec).54He attributed this to the changes in drop shape caused by the air flow as the drop size increased.
The speed of rain
The change in shape thus increased the air resistance of the drop and
slowed its fall rate.As can be seen, the Qur'an may also be drawing our attention to the subtle
adjustment in rain which could not have been known 1,400 years ago.
