If Allah willed, He could make the water we drink bitter, salty and undrinkable
Allah is asking mankind this question: Have you considered the water you drink? Is it you who cause it to come down (in rain) from the Cloud, or are We the Causer of its coming down? If We willed, We could make it bitter, salty, undrinkable and unpalatable. Why then will you do not give thanks for its purity and its palatable taste and therefore believe?
==========
