The Holy Quran 14:32 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِىَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرَ

Translation

Allaah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends rain from the sky, thereby extracting fruits as sustenance for you. He placed the ships at your service so that they may travel (and transport you and your goods) over the oceans by His command and He subjugated the rivers for you (so that you are able to sail on them as well).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The favours of Almighty Allah: that is, He sent down water from the direction of the sky; or the meaning may be that, besides outward causes such as vapours, unseen heavenly causes also play a part in the coming of rain.
