JAKARTA - For the millennial generation, rain creates the impression of melancholy. In every generation, rain is also a source of inspiration. Rain in 2021 will not fall evenly in Indonesia, especially in mid -September.

Water as a source of life, has a cycle whose pattern is always the same. From the water that evaporates, it condenses into water vapor and then it rains. Due to uneven rainfall, in some areas there is a drought. According to the teachings of Islam, here are 3 prayers for rain and rain.

1. Kurab prayer said before the prayer for rain and rain

This prayer was taught by Rasulullah SAW when he faced a drought and asked for rain to wet it.

Based on the order in accordance with the guidance, Rasullulah SAW recited the kurab prayer first. Kurab prayer is a prayer recited when experiencing difficulties. The prayer reads as follows:

لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم, لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم, لا إله إلا الله رب السموات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم

Lā ilāha illallāhul 'azhīmul halīmu, lā ilāha illallāhu rabbul' arsyil 'azhīmi, lā ilāha illallāhu rabus samāwāti wa rabbul ardhi wa rabbul' arsyil karīmi.

Meaning: "There is no God but God who is great and polite. There is no God but Allah, the Lord of the majestic Throne. There is no God but Allah, the Lord of heaven, earth, and the glorious Throne. ”

2. Pray for rain and let it rain

After reciting the kurab prayer, the istisqa prayer is recited later. The reading of the prayer to ask for rain and be blessed with wet soil is as follows:

God forbid that we should do evil, that we should not be ashamed, neither be dismayed.

Allāhummasqinā ghaitsan mughītsan hanī'an marī'an (and history of murī'an) ghadaqan mujallalan thabaqan sahhan dā'iman.
