These verses also remind people of Allah’s blessings and the need to thank Him for what He has offered them. Allah says, “Then let mankind look at his food. How We poured down water in torrents, Then We broke open the earth, splitting And caused to grow within it grain And grapes and herbage, And olive and palm trees, And gardens of dense shrubbery, And fruit and grass enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock Plants' creations

19. We sent down water from the sky, blessed water whereby We caused to grow gardens, grains for harvest, tall palm-trees with their spathes , piled one above the other – sustenance for (Our) servants. Therewith We gave (new) life to a dead land. So will be the emergence The water cycle in the Quran
