The RAIN Prayer: Islamic Relief
By Hamza Isa on Jul 10, 2007 in
Islamic Relief have a campaign entitled ‘Action for Africa’ and over the past couple of months they have been raising money for many people who are suffering through illnesses such as AIDS & HIV and through desasters like the sever drought that is causing much suffering at the moment.
Islamic Relief founder Dr. Hany Al-Bany travelled to Mali and Niger recently and he came with drilling machines to create wells which will provide communities with much needed water that is clean and pure, something that they have never had.
During this visit in the middle of the drought the local area suffered another large sand storm which was hampering their efforts, Dr. Hany and the Islamic Relief staff decided to pray Salatul Isqa (Rain Prayer) and ask Allah 
to send the rain. To the amazement of the local people no sooner had the prayer started clouds began to form, thunder and lightening began and then the rain came. A quick thinking team member got the camera and the end part of the prayer was caught on film!
Subhanallah, this scene is beautiful is it not? Just see how quick Allah answers the prayers of those who sacrifice to help others.
Islamic Relief are still working in these areas to provide communities with much needed support, if you assist those people by donating you receive Sadaqa Jariya inshallah, continuous reward until the Day of Judgment.
