Question:
When the descent of rain is delayed, is it said that this happens to you because of sins and disobedience?
Answer:
It is mostly due to sin, but it may be for other reasons. Allah says:[Ash-Shuraa 42:30] This is the principle. Sins may cause the delay for a profound wisdom, so that they may supplicate to Him, respond to Him, and assist Him in obedience, as was the case during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
