Process of Cloud Formation mentioned in the Quran

 In this blog, I have written about the process of cloud formation mentioned in the Quran.

Translation of Verse 18 of Surah Al-Muminun

We send down rain from the sky in perfect measure, causing it to soak into the earth. And We are surely able to take it away.

Translation of Verse 29 of Surah Al-Zumar

Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky—channelling it through streams in the earth—then produces with it crops of various colours, then they dry up and you see them wither, and then He reduces them to chaff? Surely this is a reminder for people of reason.

Translation of Verse 24 of Surah Al-Rum

And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed these are signs for people who use reason.


Translation of Verse 48 of Surah Al-Rum

It is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ˹vapour, forming˺ clouds, which He then spreads out in the sky or piles up into masses as He wills, from which you see the rain come forth. Then as soon as He causes it to fall on whoever He wills of His servants, they rejoice,

Explanation

   In these verses of the Quran, Allah tells us about the process of rain formation, which we have just discovered recently. Allah tells us in verse 48 of Surah Al-Rum how the clouds form when winds move in the upper atmosphere, causing water vapours to join and condense, which results in cloud formation. Then Allah has told us in Verse 18 of Surah Al-Muminun and Verse 29 of Surah Al-Zumar how rain falls from the sky and how it seeps into the earth via streams and rivers. This fact was mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago which we have just discovered recently. There is also the mention of how he brings life to the earth after its lifelessness in verse 24 of Surah Al-Rum. This process is quite common, especially in drought-affected areas where the plants and animals start to die due to the intense heat and dryness, but when it rains, life starts to return to normal as it was before the drought. Then it is also mentioned in verse 24 of Surah Al-Rum and Verse 29 of Surah Al-Zumar that these are signs for people of reason upon the existence of a divine creator that is Allah SWT.

Relativistic time mentioned in the Quran

    In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Holy Quran in which Allah Almighty talks about the relativity of time. Translation of verse 5 of Surah As-Sajdah He conducts(governs) everything from the heavens to the earth, and then everything ascends to him on a day whose length by your reckoning is a thousand years. Explanation              The above-mentioned verse of the Holy Quran talks about a very famous concept in physics, which is the relativity of time, also known as time dilation. Late 19th and early 20th century scientists such as Lorentz, Emil Kuhn, Hermann Minkowski, Albert Einstein and many others theorized this concept, but Einstein made the greatest contribution. Time dilation deals with the fact that time is not absolute but relative. In general, time dilation is defined as how fast or how slow time will pass depending on the reference frame (accelerating/moving or non-accelerating/at rest or speeds much slower than...

Mention of the Verse of the Holy Quran which talks about time being relative

   In this article, I wrote about the verse of the Quran, which mentions time being relative. Translation of Verse 47 of Surah Al-Hajj They challenge you, O Prophet, to hasten the torment(Day of Judgment/Doom's Day). And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting. Explanation                        At the beginning of this verse of Surah Al-Hajj, Allah says that the infidels challenge the Prophet Muhammad SAW in bringing the Day of Judgment or the Doom's Day before its actual time. They do so to see those punishments quickly, which they are promised by Allah for their misdeeds. It is also clearly mentioned in the second part of this verse that Allah will never fail in his promise which means that those people who have done misdeeds and disobeyed Allah will surely be punished on the day of Judgment. The last part of this verse talks about a concept in...
