وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا

لِّنُحْيِيَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَامًا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرًا

[Al-Furqan: 48-49]

It is He who sends the winds as heralds of good news before His Mercy. We send down pure [purifying] water from the sky. (48)

So that We can revive a dead land with it, and We give it as a drink to many animals and people We have created. (49).
