Kapanlagi.com - Rain is considered special in Islam. This is because rain is seen as one of the blessings that comes down from Allah SWT. This is stated in the Quranic verse, "Allah sends down rain from the sky, and with it, He brings forth fruits as provision for you..." (Q.S. Al Baqarah 2:22).

In Islam, there is a special prayer recommended to be recited when it rains. Practicing the prayer for rain in everyday life shows gratitude to Allah SWT for all blessings, including the rain that falls from His sky.

The prayer for rain is one of the highly recommended prayers in Islam. It is not only recited when it rains, but Muslims are also encouraged to pray for rain during droughts or when they need water for irrigation or other purposes. The prayer for rain also serves as a reminder of the greatness of Allah SWT as the Creator who has control over everything, including the rainfall.

Here is a discussion about some prayers for rain in Islam along with their meanings:

1. Praying When It Rains

As mentioned earlier, praying for rain is highly recommended for every Muslim. This prayer is a manifestation of gratitude and humility towards Allah SWT. By regularly praying during rain, a Muslim remembers the importance of rain in earthly life.

Practicing the prayer for rain in daily life reminds a Muslim that every drop of rain is a blessing from Allah SWT. When reciting the prayer during rain, a Muslim seeks the mercy of rain that is beneficial for life on earth. Muslims also pray that the rain does not become a disaster or bring harm.

The recommendation to pray when it rains comes directly from Prophet Muhammad SAW. In one of his hadiths, Prophet Muhammad SAW mentioned rain as one of the opportune times for prayer. Among those hadiths, one of them states:

"Prayers are not rejected at two times, when the call to prayer is heard and when it rains." (HR Al Hakim)

Therefore, Muslims are advised to pray when it rains. The prayer recited during rain contains a request to receive abundant, beneficial, and non-harmful rain. Muslims ask for the rain to come immediately, without delay. The prayer for rain also reflects the trust and dependence of a Muslim on Allah SWT as the Creator of everything that governs this universe.
