More than 1,400 years ago, the Qur’an described with astonishing accuracy the stages of how rain is formed.
Allah SWT says in the Qur’an:
“It is Allah Who sends the winds, and they raise the clouds; then He spreads them in the sky as He wills and breaks them into fragments, until you see rain coming forth from their midst.”
(Quran : 30 - 48)
“Have you not seen that Allah drives the clouds, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap, and you see the rain emerge from within it…”
(Quran : 24 - 43)
Modern science has now detailed the process of rain formation exactly as it was described in the Qur’an more than 14 centuries ago.
Alhamdulillah! This is a clear sign that the Qur’an is the word of Allah.
| Stage | Qur’anic Description | Scientific Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Wind | “Allah sends the winds…” (30:48) | Winds carry water vapor upward |
| 2. Cloud formation | “Do you not see that God gently drives the clouds, then joins them together...” (24:43) | Clouds form from condensation and merge |
| 3. Cloud growth | “Then makes them into a heap…” (24:43) | Clouds become dense and dark |
| 4. Rainfall | “Then you see the rain emerge…” (24:43) | Water droplets fall as rain |
