 One
of the items of information
given in the Qur’an about rain is that it is sent
down on earth in due measure. This is mentioned in Surat
az-Zukhruf as follows;
(It is He who sends down water in due measure from the
sky by which We bring a dead land back to life. That is how
you too will be raised (from the dead).)
(Surat az - Zukhruf, 11)
 This
measure in rain has again been discovered by modern research.
It is estimated that in one second, approximately 16 million
tons of water evaporate 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. This
means that water continuously circulates in a balanced cycle
according to a “measure”. Life on earth depends on this water
cycle. Even if people had used all the technology in the
world, they would not be able to produce this cycle
artificially.
Even
a minor deviation in this amount would very soon give rise to
a major ecological imbalance that would bring about the end of
life on earth. Yet, this never happens and rain keeps falling
every year in exactly the same amount– just as is revealed in
the Qur’an.
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.
