Wonders of Allah in Harmony Between Water and Plants
The rains, the seas, rivers, streams, the oceans, drinkable water that flows
when you turn on a faucet… People are so used to the existence of water that
they probably never think about the fact that a major part of the Earth's
surface -indeed, most of it- is covered with water. However, what is singularly
important here is that, among all known celestial bodies, only the Earth
provides drinkable water.
Water is a basic condition for life, but it is entirely absent from the solar
system's 63 other celestial bodies. However, fully four-fifths of the Earth's
surface is covered with water. In addition to large water masses such as oceans,
there are various other water sources whose sizes and attributes are different
from each other, such as rivers and small lakes. Some of these waters are too
salty to be drinkable, but others are fresh. There is a perfect water balance
that has been arranged according to the needs of all living things on the Earth.
By virtue of water, millions of species of creatures exist on Earth, and the
balances that are necessary for life are preserved. For example, clouds and rain
are formed by the evaporation of large water masses. Water has a high capacity
for drawing and holding heat. For this reason, the large water masses of the
oceans and seas maintain the balance of the world's heat. Therefore, the
temperature difference between day and night in regions near the sea is very
small. This makes these regions more livable.
The existence of the oceans, a bird's-eye view of which is seen at the top of
the picture on the page to the right, is highly significant. Because the oceans
reflect the sun's rays less than land does, they receive more sun energy, yet
they disperse this heat in a more balanced way. Therefore, the oceans cool the
equatorial regions and prevent them from becoming excessively hot, and also warm
the waters of the polar regions to prevent them from freezing completely.
Through the transparency of water, water mosses can photosynthesize under the
surface of the ocean. Water is one of the few substances in nature that expands
when frozen. It is because of this that the seas and oceans do not freeze from
bottom to top.
All of the physical and chemical features of water, of which only a few have
been given here, show us that this liquid has been specially created for the
needs of human life. It is surely no coincidence that such water is not
available on any other planet besides the Earth. The Earth, which has been
specially created for human life, has blossomed with life through water, which
has also been specially created. Allah, Who has created countless blessings for
His servants and bestowed on them an easy mode of living, has created water with
unique artistry and delicacy. As He maintains in the Qur'an, "It is He Who sends
down water from the sky..." (Surat an-Nahl: 10
