He who has made the earth a resting place for you and has made the sky a canopy, and set down the rain from the sky, and brought out with it crops and fruits from the earth as provision for you. So do not set up rivals with Allah in your worship whilst you have no Lord besides Him.” [Surah al-Baqarah (2):21-22]
