Transliteration:( Wa arsalnar riyaaha la waaqiha fa anzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa asqai naakumoohu wa maaa antum lahoo bikhaazineen )
28. The Holy QUR'AAN refers to the wind of mercy as RIYAAH and the wind of wrath as REEH The wind which brings rain too is excellent as it harbours mercy. Therefore it is appropriate to offer prayer to Allah Almighty at the time when these winds are blowing and to seek the protection of Allah Almighty when the destructive winds are blowing, as is stated in Hadith Shareef.
29. The rainwater falls from the sky or due to the natural phenomenon there like vapour. condensation. etc. Thus rational thinkers cannot raise objections to the verse. It is due to the blessings of this rain that water increases in the wells and fountains, and in some places this very water is used for drinking.
