The source of water

Granite rocks, despite their compactness and solid nature, and despite the absence of holes on their surface, nevertheless allow the passage of water through ever-so small pores inside of them. This special feature allows water that falls from the sky to be stored below the Earth’s surface after its passage through the pores of these rocks. And if it were not for this feature that God granted these rocks, water, our source of life, could not have been stored into the depths of the Earth.
Beautifully, the Qur’an has pointed to this source of pure water: {And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).} [Al-Mu’minun, 23:18]. This verse is but a confirmation that the water contained on Earth is nothing more than rain water; something that has been scientifically proven! This fact, however, had not been discovered during the time the Qur’an was revealed, so who could have informed the Prophet (peace be upon him) of such knowledge?
