🌧 When Rain Becomes Excessive, The Prophetic Supplication and Lesson
In times of unusual rainfall and floods, we should turn to the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
📿 The Prophetic Supplication in Heavy Rain:
اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا
اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الْآكَامِ وَالظِّرَابِ وَبُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ
O Allah! Let it rain around us and not upon us. O Allah! On the hills, mountains, valleys, and places where trees grow.
📖 (Sahih Bukhari 1014)
🕋 Rain is a mercy from Allah, but when it exceeds limits, it becomes a trial. The Prophet ﷺ made this dua to divert the harm of excessive rain, and Allah immediately answered.
💔 Today, we face similar challenges. Unusual rains and floods have displaced thousands. Children, women, and the elderly are in urgent need of help.
🤲 Let us also follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ:
* Through supplication
* Through compassion
* Through practical assistance
