Allah says �Seest thou not that Allah Makes the clouds� [24:43] In another Quranic verse He tells us what the brothers of Yusuf said to Yusuf �We have (now) brought but scanty capital� [12:88] Scanty capital means what is gradually paid. As far as the gradual formation of clouds, Quran says: �Seest thou not that Allah makes the clouds more gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap? � then will thou see vain issue forth from their midst� [24:43]. When we study the cloud which is the form of a heap we find that originally it was scanty & scattered pieces of clouds. Gentle air operates to join them together. A heap of cloud gets formed when a cloud or two gets formed quickly and consequently a current of air also gets formed within the cloud. However due to pressure within the cloud the air climbs up & the cloud or clouds become more fused & united with each other & this leads again to pressure of air between the other clouds which on its turn climbs up & unites more clouds with each other and heaps of clouds get formed. A vertical development takes place & leads to packing of clouds on each other & form heaps of clouds. There is a speed process of arranging succeeding which increase the weigh of clouds and decreases the temperature. The center of the clouds become more heavy & more cold & consequently the rain falls. The above Quranic verse indicated this process in a clear meaning by terms such as �Clouds move gently� �join them together� �then makes them into a heap� �rain issue forth from their midst�. Modern science exerted hard to decipher the above process whereas it has been revealed in Quran before fourteen centuries. The more people read Quran the more faithful & believers they would be.
