Koran 16:10-11

16:10 It is He who sends down rain from the sky; from it is drink and from it is foliage in which you pasture [animals].

11 He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and from all the fruits.

Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

Koran 16:10-11

This passage by Muhammad shows that Allah is the rain god of the Quraysh pantheon. For more, see: Allah – Rain God?

Naturally, an idol, Allah, doesn’t cause rain to fall. The rain falls despite the inaction of the idol, Allah, and the imaginary god, Allah. Sure, we drink water:

But most of us get water from dams, through city water supplies, rivers, wells, or, rarely, from rain-filled water tanks. Not directly from rain.

Pasture grass and household garden grass, which we created, grow in spite of Allah, not because.

As for the crops, we created them, planted them, cared for them and harvested them.

Muhammad demands: “Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.” And when we give it thought, we find that Muhammad is taking credit for the efforts of ancient humans, claiming their work comes from his imaginary god, Allah. Muhammad never knew we would map and track rain using radar and computer systems. As such, the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
