Intense fever and hot and humid public life. In this situation, special namaz or istiskar (prayer for water) prayers have been offered in different areas of the capital for rain.
On Tuesday (April 22) at around 10:30 am, local worshipers took part in this special prayer held in the premises of Salambagh Jame Masjid and Jamia Anwarul Uloom Madrasa in East Rampura of the capital.
Praying for rain to save from the heat by performing the Istikhar Namaz. Refuge is sought from Allah.
Around the same time, a special Istiska Namaz was organized by Al Sunnah Foundation in Aftabnagar of the capital. This prayer was performed under the Imamate of Sheikh Ahmadullah Huzur. At this time, asking for forgiveness for their sins, they pray to Allah for forgiveness and rain.
A person named Mohiuddin Ahmed, who participated in this special prayer held at the Salam Bagh Jame Masjid in Rampura, said that it has been very hot for a few days. Getting out of the house has become difficult. Even running the fan all the time in the room does not provide relief.
He said that it is so hot now because of no rain. So today we prayed Istika prayer to be saved from this hot weather and to get Allah’s mercy for rain. I asked God for forgiveness and prayed for rain. Hopefully Allah will save us from this situation.
Praying istiskar prayer. Another worshiper named Mamun said, Islam has a provision to pray to Allah for rain. People’s life has become miserable due to few days of excessive heat. It’s not even raining. So praying to Allah for getting rid of hot weather and rain has been done.
He said, this morning, it was announced on the microphone from the mosque that Istiska prayers would be offered for rain. After hearing this announcement, I went to the mosque. There many people like me perform this special prayer and ask Allah for forgiveness. There is no one to protect us except Allah.
