Commentators of the Glorious Quran say: ‘There is no more rain in one …
Allah stated in Glorious Quran, sura al-Hijr [Stone land, Rock City] 15:21, ‘And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.’ Commentators of the Glorious Quran say: ‘There is no more rain in one year or less than other years. But, some people get rain while others are deprived.’ This interpretation was the opinion of our scholars more than seven centuries ago at a time when Europe was rich in myths and superstition. Our scholars have understood the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger PBUH, to learn that the amount of rainfall every year is fixed and does not change. This is what the scientists in the twentieth century discovered. Our question to those skeptics who believe that the Qur’an is an ordinary book: ‘Where did Ibn Katheer [the renowned scholar of interpretation of Quran] who lived in the sixth century AH brought such information from? The answer is simply, from the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet PBUH, who is reported to have said, ‘There is no specific year that has more rainfall than another, but rather Allah, the Almighty distributes it [i.e. the rainfall].’ [This Hadith is reported by AlHakim] Research has proven that the rainfall average is fixed on annual basis.
