Sura 43, The Quran:

(11) and the One who has sent down water from the sky in due measure. Then We have revived with it a dead town. In the same way, you will be brought forth (alive from the graves),

Nope. According to the link that you posted above it reads:

"And who sends down [b]rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -"

Yup, that's right, good old fashioned rain.

And that's the only interpretation that makes sense, because hitting it with a comet does not revive thereby anything but rather blasts it into ityy-bitty fragments.

Quote:In another verse:

Sorry, this one says "rain" too:

https://quran.com/23/18?translations=

"And We have sent down [b]rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away."

I quoted the literal translation for this verse which "Mufti Taqi Usmani" wrote.

I even posted the name "Mufti Taqi Usmani" before the verses. The word "ماء" means "water", not rain.
You can check it in google translate.

I'm a native Arab, water doesn't mean rain neither in our modern language or our ancient language.

ماء =/= مطر

I don't really care what your preferred translation says. The link that you posted translates it as "rain", which is the only translation that makes sense.

It's up to you then. I told you that "water" =/= "rain" in Arabic. Personally, I hate being "mugged" or "fooled", even if it was a mere word.

All you have to do is look at the context. Which of the following makes sense?

"And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -"


"And who sends down comets from space in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -"

Smacking comets into a dead land isn't going to revive anything.

No; use the actual word used: i.e "water". Not "comet".
He didn't use the word "rain". He used the word "water".

Water is not rain. We never say "the sky is "watering". Also in Arabic we never use water to describe rainfall.
