Mosques Praying for Rain

Many Southern California mosques are offering a special prayer tonight asking God for rain to help the firefighters end the wildfires.
This call for prayers was initiated Tuesday by the Council on American Islamic Relations.
CAIR officials urged every individual at home, mosques and houses of worship to offer a prayer and ask for rain.
Praying to God and asking for rain is part the Islamic religion, and it is mentioned in the Quran.
The prophet Muhammad used to also offer a prayer for rain such as:
“O God, give us rain that will replenish us, abundant, fertilizing and profitable, not injurious.
Grant it now without delay ... Send down rain upon us and make it a source of strength and satisfaction ...
O God, give us a saving rain, good and productive, general and heavy, now and not later, beneficial and not harmful.”
