2. Water and Quran
A Lecture

Mr.Allah Dad Khan

3. Can life continue without water?
 The Qur'an talked precisely about that matter and also referred to the source
of water :( And we sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure, and
we gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, we are Able to take it away.)
(Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn- verse 18). This verse tells us that the source of the water
inside the earth such as the groundwater is the rains, this is scientifically
proven!

4. Also there is another verse as God be He
exalted says:
 (And We send the winds fertilizing (to fill heavily the clouds with water), then
cause the water (rain) to descend from the sky, and We give it to you to
drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its stores [i.e. to give water to
whom you like or to withhold it from whom you like]) (Sûrat A-Hijr -verse22).
For many years people believed that water in depths below the surface of the
earth had been formed inside earth or it is existed inside earth from the old
ages, and no one got the knowledge that this water was stored inside from
the water of rain. But the great Qur'an told us about this scientific reality and
God confirmed to us that He lodges this water by His ability and is purified by
these layers of rocks to be drinkable so that God says:(We give it to you to
drink) and without the mercy of God and that He exploited the physics laws
for us, water wouldn’t be lodged inside earth and life wouldn’t be continue

6. Scientists confirm that earth is the
source of the water
 God says :( And after that He spread the earth* and brought forth there from
its water and its pasture.)(Sûrat An-Nazi' at- verse 30-31). There are many
verses in the Qur'an confirming on that and all of these verses are compatible
with the new science, this is a proof that the Qur'an is sincere.
 The strangest thing is that dust is full of Pores but it doesn’t allow water to
pass through it because of a very distinguished characteristic which is the
ability of dust to mixing with water to enable plants to grow. God says
concerning that:

7. Scientists confirm that earth is the
source of the water
 (And you see the earth barren, but when we send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to
life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).) (Sûrat Al-Hajj- verse 5).
Glory to Allah who mentioned everything in His book.
 Also, the Qur'an told us about the source of springs in the earth, God says: (See you not that
Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and then
makes it to spring up) as water-springs)(Sûrat Az-Zumar-verse21). This verse tells us that the
source of springs is the water of rain and that is the opposite to the belief of some people
who believed that the source of these springs is the sea!!
 Nowadays, scientists are looking for a new source of water for the future, and they confirm
that the best source is the high mountains as it saves a huge amount of water. Also the Qur'an
told us about that as God says :( And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have
given you to drink sweet water?)(Sûrat Al-Mursalât- verse 27)

8. Scientists confirm that earth is the
source of the water
 These are compact verses which testify that the Qur'an is sincere and is matching
with the scientific facts, and it is not like what skeptics say that this book is just
an ordinary book, if they are right we would see many myths and superstitions in it
but we only see what agrees with science. This is an indication that the source of
that book is the divine inspiration, read with me this divine challenge :( And this
Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah (Lord of the
heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was
before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel)], and a full explanation
of the Book (i.e. laws, decreed for mankind) - wherein there is no doubt - from
the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists) * Or do they say: "He
(Muhammad( has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Sûrah (chapter) like unto it, and call
upon whomsoever you can besides Allah, if you are truthful!"* Nay, they have
belied the knowledge whereof they could not comprehend and what has not yet
been fulfilled (i.e. their punishment). Thus those before them did belie. Then see
what was the end of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers)!* And of them
there are some who believe therein; and of them there are some who believe not
therein, and your Lord is All-Aware of the Mufsidûn (evil-doers, liars).)(Sûrat
Yûnus- verse37-40)
