Heavy Clouds in the Qur’an

Editor’s note:

How come an unlettered Prophet who lived more than 1400 years ago get to know the fact that clouds are very heavy and that they have a material weight?! This is one of the most amazing things about the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him).

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…” (Al-A`raf 7:57)

“It is He Who shows you the lightning, striking fear and bringing hope; it is He Who heaps up the heavy clouds.” (Al-Ra`d 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.
