Allah Almighty says what means: [And We send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.] (Al-Mu’minun: 18)
Water has a certain organized cycle. It evaporates from the seas, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and streams and rises into the atmosphere. Water vapor of water is not seen by the naked eye.
As wind hits a mountainside, the air is forced upwards, causing the water vapor to cool and condense, forming rain clouds.
When clouds become heavy with liquid droplets (or ice particles in cold climates), rain (or snow) falls, flowing over the land into rivers and streams.
Some of the water that falls onto the land seeps through the soil and forms another store of water: groundwater basins. Some geological movements may occur that cause groundwater basins to fracture and the water stored in them to move to other parts.
Each rain cloud carries a certain electric charge, negative or positive. The wind plays an important systematic role in the process of rain falling, which is referred to in the Qur’an as well.
According to the verse quoted above, Allah Almighty sends down water from the sky and controls where on the earth this water goes and settles. This proves that there is a systematic way for water movement or the water cycle on the earth. This all is done by Almighty Allah's will. He may also, if He wills, deprive us of water as He, Most High, says: [We are Able to withdraw it.] (Al-Mu’minun: 18)
But He Almighty is All-Generous; He keeps bestowing us with the great blessing of water.
