The Causes of Rainfall and the Decree of Allah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh. Is it correct that what is said about the proximity of waters and their interaction, which leads to their existence, is true? We hear that there are people whose paths were cut off, so they were astonished by Allah, and Allah created clouds for them and helped them. What is your opinion regarding his narration on that?

Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, creates rain by whatever means He wills. It may be from the steam of the sea, or it may be that Allah creates it.
It may be in the atmosphere, from elements that gather and fertilize one another by the command of Allah. It all returns to the will of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. It is all His creation, and it is all His decree. The sea is His dominion, and the steam is His dominion, Glorified and Exalted is He. Everything is by His decree. There is no barrier to this or that. Yes, there is no barrier to this or that. Allah may cause rain to occur suddenly, rain suddenly, by His power, Glorified and Exalted is He, because nothing is too difficult for Him. It may be by causes that appear to us, or it may be by hidden causes that no one knows except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. The important thing is that we entrust this to Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He.
