Ask for Merciful Rain

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

“O Allah, make it rain upon us a merciful rainfall, and do not make us from the hopeless.” This is the Dua of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam for rain: “Make it good, Rahmah (mercy) and blessed for us. And don’t make us hopeless.” Because we are in a time that rain is sometimes a blessing and sometimes a punishment for people. So we must thank Allah ﷻ for us and ask for it to be a blessing and to be Barakah for us, not Bala’ (affliction).

Our Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, in the end of times,

“Rain will fall down as severe (extreme and oppressive) and the children will be unpleasant.“ Meaning in the end of times, in the time we are living, rain will become as Bala’, as not good for people. The water is taking houses, taking people, killing people. Normally, it must be good. But when Allah ﷻ wants it to be good, it becomes good. So you must all the time ask for this. Many times, this rain comes as punishment. Insha’Allah Allah ﷻ make it as Rahmah not punishment.

Of course, here you have rain all the time. But in our place, only in winter. Winter begins after October until 5 or 6 months. Each place is different. But what happens is that it doesn’t rain for a while and then Allah ﷻ sends it all in one hour. When it comes down in one hour, it destroys and kills. This is a punishment from Allah ﷻ.

For this, we must look all the time for what Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. We must make Dua when there’s rain and thunder and when it’s not raining. All with Dua. Dua is our weapon. The Mu’min’s weapon is Dua. And Allah ﷻ protects us with Dua insha’Allah. Earth and heavens all are with Dua. Insha’Allah Allah ﷻ make it Barakah and Khayr (goodness) for the Ummah insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
