Say you, 'look to it, if your water in the
morning go deep in the earth, then who would
bring you water running before your eyes?'
Surah Mulk; Verse 30; Al-Qur’an

pmm (1112)

Water: A Gift of Allah

?Have you observed the water you drink“


?Do you bring it down from the rain clouds Or do We
If it were Our will, We could have made it salty, then
”.why are you not Thankful
