Collection: Heavenly Water

Modern Scientific Discovery:

Scientists believed that Earth's water originated solely from internal geological processes. However, modern research has revealed that a significant portion of Earth’s water have come from outer space—delivered by celestial bodies such as comets, asteroids, and interstellar dust.

🔬 Key Scientific Facts:

• Studies of ancient meteorites and comets show that they contain water similar in composition to Earth's oceans.
• Scientists have found water molecules in deep space, confirming that water existed before the formation of our solar system.
• Recent studies suggest that a large fraction of Earth's water was delivered by icy comets and asteroids that bombarded the planet in its early history.
• Water vapor has been detected in distant planetary systems, indicating that water is a common ingredient in space.

These discoveries, made in the 21st century, confirm that water did not originate solely from Earth, but was sent down from outer space—a concept remarkably mentioned in the Qur’ān over 1400 years ago.

Qur’ānic Revelation:

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ بِقَدَرٍۢ فَأَسْكَنَّـٰهُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍۢ بِهِۦ لَقَـٰدِرُونَ

"We send down water from the sky in perfect measure, causing it to soak into the earth. And We are surely able to take it away."
📖 (Qur’ān 23:18)

This verse states that water was “sent down” from the heavens before being stored in the Earth. This aligns with modern research showing that much of Earth's water came from extraterrestrial sources.

Scientific Explanation:

🔹 The Qur’ān states that water was sent down from the heavens and later stored in the Earth, which aligns with modern findings that Earth's water partially originated in space and was later preserved underground.
🔹 The verse differentiates between rain, which forms in the clouds, and water, which was originally sent down from beyond the clouds—a scientifically accurate distinction.
🔹 The reference to clouds being "enslaved" between the Earth and the heavens further supports the idea that they are part of Earth's atmosphere, while water itself came from beyond.

Conclusion:

The idea that Earth's water originated from space was only confirmed in recent decades, yet the Qur’ān explicitly described this over 1400 years ago. These verses highlight divine knowledge that aligns with modern scientific discoveries, serving as another compelling sign of the Qur’ān’s truth and accuracy.
