Allah initiated the water cycle

How do Allah maintain the water in earth that never becomes vapor or freezes all at a time. Its due to water cycle. Earth, is the only place in universe where there is water, rainfall of water & water according to science so far. Allah knows better is there any other.

Allah initiated it INITIALLY. And Yes there are Scientific Reasons behind it, but then who initiated the scientific reasons, and yes, its nature and natural process, but then who initiated the nature and  natural processes. Allah claims that, He did it and He can make all these reversed, if He wills?

“Do you not realize that Allah drives the clouds, then joins them together, then turns them into a heap? Then you see the rain coming out from their midst [24:43] Have you ever considered the water you drink? Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or is it We Who do so? If We willed, We could make it salty. Will you not then give thanks? [56:68-70]

I fucking love water cycle graphs vote on your favorite water cycle graph NOW (ESA, NOAA, USGS respectively)

"As Albert Einstein explained in 1905, the photoelectric effect occurs when light shining on a material contains enough (quantized) energy to eject an electron from the material. By analogy, and drawing on his understanding of Maxwell’s equations and the polar nature of water molecules, [Gang] Chen rationalized that the impetus behind his team’s observations might involve a quadrupole force acting on a permanent dipole at the air-water interface."

"Chen believes this new mechanism, which he and his colleagues describe in PNAS, could be at play in our daily lives. “It might be important, for example, for understanding the Earth’s water cycle, global warming, and plant growth,” he says. “The discovery could also lead to new engineering applications: we have started to look into desalination and wastewater treatment, but drying could be another area in which this mechanism could be exploited.” Because drying consumes around 20% of energy used in industrial sectors – an amount Chen calls “staggering” – an increase in energy efficiency could have a significant impact."

I wonder if the drops ever tire of falling in the same cycle every day.

When you get overly hot, your body releases water to cool you down. sadly, the water has been cursed to stink, so you are forced to shower, so you cleanse yourself of the bad water with the good water. but now you have to replace the good water you lost to the bad by drinking it. however, a lot of this good water gets expelled later as bad water. AND THEN SOMEHOW, THE SKY STEALS THE WATER, AND USES IT TO MAKE FLOATING COTTON CANDY, WHICH THEN POURS OUT GOOD WATER!  BUT GET THIS! THAT GOOD WATER CAN BECOME STRONG FROM WINDS, AND BECOME REALLY BAD WATER! THEN, THAT WATER FLOODS INTO AREAS AND GETS CONTAMINATED, AND BECOMES EVEN WORSE! BUT GUESS WHAT?! THE BIG BLUENESS STEALS IT ALL BACK, AND CONVERTS IT BACK INTO FLOATING COTTON CANDY, WHICH MAKES IT GOOD WATER AGAIN!

Twitter post by user @ CryptoNaturalist that reads: The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance.

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:

The climate crisis is making the water cycle spin faster and faster.

New research published in Scientific Reports last month found satellite evidence that the water cycle is speeding up, as fresh ocean water becomes fresher and salty ocean water becomes saltier.

“The acceleration of the water cycle has implications both at the ocean and on the continent, where storms could become increasingly intense,” study lead author Estrella Olmedo of the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM) in Barcelona said in a press release.

The water cycle is the term for how water first evaporates from the Earth, rises into the atmosphere to form clouds and then falls again as rain or snow, as NASA explains. The climate crisis is naturally speeding this process because warmer temperatures cause water to evaporate faster, the press release explained.

It is possible to tell if this process is accelerating by measuring the salinity of surface ocean water. This is because some ocean water turns saltier as the fresh water evaporates, while already fresher water is further diluted by heavy rainfall, ScienceAlert explained. However, it’s hard to measure this with ocean buoys because they tend to measure water slightly below the surface. Satellites, however, measure at the surface and can provide a steady stream of data from all parts of the ocean regardless of location or condition, according to the study and the press release.

Rain drops fall on the mountain top and join hands with their fellows,

Ricocheting down the rockface, leaping off of leaftips,

Racing to the valley below.

A stream offers a ride, come, to the tide!

Rush

Through the gorge, rapids bouncing

Over boulders-

Hello! Stream joins stream,

Carriages to a train. The river

Roars over its banks, turns

Too tight, track

Too narrow,

But soon,

The sea; here the river slows down to the terminal,

The delta unloading its luggage on the sandbars as the raindrops rush to meet their cousins, brackish waters spreading and can we do it again? Can we? Can we?

Let's go!
