Rain – Coming Down in Decided Proportion
7:54:50 2023-04-01 712

Have you ever wondered, why sometimes there is only a drizzle and on other days a downpour? While some of us might think, this happens by chance, Allah tells us that this happens by His decree.

“And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land…” [43:11]

Every second, 16 million tons of water evaporates from the Earth, which means the same amount must be replaced by means of rain. Allah maintains this balance by the process of the water cycle. Even a minor difference can result in a major ecological imbalance.

Allah does not only decide the quantity of rain but also the speed with which it will come down. One can notice the difference of speed when there is a storm and a drizzle. When the rain is heavy, it brings destruction and loss of lives and property. When there is a light drizzle, nothing is affected. Therefore, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) taught us to ask Allah  for beneficial rain.

It was in the 16th century when a French hydraulics engineer, Bernard Palissy, discovered the water cycle. In the 19th century, a German physicist, Philipp Lenard, found the correlation between the speed of rainfall and the size of a raindrop.
