King Salman Calls for Rain Prayers Across Saudi Arabia Tomorrow

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, has called for the performance of the Istisqa' (rain-seeking) prayer throughout Saudi Arabia tomorrow, Thursday.

A statement issued by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques said: “Following the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in performing the Istisqa' prayer, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, has called for the performance of the Istisqa' prayer throughout the Kingdom. Everyone should increase their repentance, seek forgiveness, and turn to God Almighty, be kind to His servants, and increase their voluntary acts of worship, such as giving charity, performing prayers, and reciting supplications. They should also ease the burdens of God's servants and alleviate their distress, so that God may relieve our distress and grant us what we hope for.

Everyone who is able should be keen to perform the prayer, acting upon the Sunnah of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), and demonstrating their dependence on God Almighty, while being persistent in supplication, for God loves for His servants to supplicate to Him frequently and persistently.”
