The weight of clouds can reach quite astonishing
proportions. For example, a cumulonimbus cloud, commonly known as the thunder
cloud, can contain up to 300,000 tons of water.The fact that a mass of 300,000 tons of water can
remain aloft is truly amazing. Attention is drawn to the weight of clouds in
other verses of the Qur'an:
It is He Who sends out the winds, bringing
advance news of His mercy, so that when they have lifted up the heavy clouds,
We dispatch them to a dead land and send down water to it, by means of which We
bring forth all kinds of fruit... (Qur'an, 7:57)
It is He Who shows you the lightning,
striking fear and bringing hope; it is He Who heaps up the heavy clouds.
(Qur'an, 13:12)
At the time when the Qur'an was revealed, of course,
it was quite impossible to have any information about the weight of clouds.
This information, revealed in the Qur'an, but discovered only recently, is yet
another proof that the Qur'an is the Word of Allah.
