The Essence of Islam – Volume I
68 ‘Allah, Who is the Fountainhead of grace, guidance and providence bears witness: We did send Messengers to the tribes and nations before thee; but they were corrupted because of the misguidance of Satan; so the same Satan is their partner this day. This Book has been revealed so that it may settle their differences and the truth may be declared manifestly. The fact is that the whole earth had died; Allah sent down water from heaven and brought this dead to life. This is a sign of the truthfulness of the Book, but it will benefit only those who would listen, i.e., are seekers after truth.’—al-Nahl, 16:64-66 [Publisher]

9 And Allah has sent down water from the sky, and has quickened therewith the earth after its death (Surah an-Nahl, 16:66). [Publisher]
Three Questions by a Christian and their Answers
That is: The Holy Quran guides to the path of peace and leads people out of every darkness into light. It is a cure for whatever disease there is in the hearts. Allah has sent down water which has quickened the earth after its death. He has sent down water so that every valley may flow according to its measure. He sends down water and the barren earth becomes green. The skins of those who fear their Lord creep at it, then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah. Remember, it is in the Quran that hearts can find true comfort. Faith is inscribed in the hearts of those who follow the Quran, and they are blessed with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has brought down the Quran, so that it may strengthen the hearts of the believers, and be a sign of guidance and glad-tidings for Muslims. It is We Who have sent down the Quran, and it is We Who shall surely be its Guardian, i.e., the Holy Quran will remain forever pristine, both in respect of its form and characteristics, and it shall remain under the shelter of Divine protection. Allah further says that the Quran contains all the knowledge, wisdom and truth that is to be found in Divine scriptures. And no man or jinn will be able to produce the like of it, even though they should help one another.[Al-Ma’idah 5:17; Yunus 10:58; Al-Nahl 16:66; Al-Ra‘d 13:18; Al-Hajj 22:64; Al-Zumar 39:24; Al-Ra‘d 13:29; Al-Mujadalah 58:23; Al-Nahl 16:103; Al-Hijr 15:10; Al-Bayyinah 98:4; Bani Isra’il 17:89 - Publishers] [Author]
