Is there such a thing as artificial rain?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We have heard of what is called artificial rain. Does their action challenge Allah the Exalted’s uniqueness in creation and bringing into existence?
Answer:
Where is this artificial rain? Where is it? Show it to us. If they do not present proof for their claims, then they are mere claimants. They have made many claims, but where is the truth? And where is the rain? We challenge them, we challenge them to bring down rain right now. The Dajjal, if he comes in the end times—and Allah knows best that these are the precursors to the Dajjal—when he comes in the end times, he will command the sky and it will rain, and he will command the earth and it will grow, due to the severity of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) that Allah places in his hands as a test for people. So, this human being has marvels; that is, if he is devoid of faith, he thinks he is capable of everything. I give life and I cause death. Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Waqi'ah 56:68] [Al-Waqi'ah 56:69]?
If they are truthful, let them now create clouds and rain the earth. They are in their lands, and they have drought and barrenness and what they call dryness, yet they have not rained on their lands. Yes.

And have you seen the water that you drink?
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَIs it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَIf they are truthful, let them now create clouds and rain the earth. They are in their lands, and they have drought and barrenness and what they call dryness, yet they have not rained on their lands. Yes.
