The reason many Muslims shun the prayer for rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Why do we see so many Muslims shunning the prayer for rain?
Answer:
It is due to a lack of desire for good and heedlessness. Many of them do not attend the obligatory congregational prayer. They do not attend the obligatory prayer in the mosque. So how would they attend the prayer for rain? But the one whom Allah the Exalted has guided does not lag behind, neither in the congregational prayer, nor in the prayer for rain, nor in the festival prayer, nor in the eclipse prayer, nor in the tarawih prayer. He attends with the Muslims. The one whom Allah has guided attends, and the one whom Allah has deprived is deprived. Yes.
