VIDEO: Istisqa Prayer Offered in Saudi Arabia
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Istisqa (rain-seeking) prayer was held in mosques all over Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
The Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina were among the holy sites that hosted the prayer, according to El-Balad News.
In a statement released earlier this week by the Saudi king’s office, people were urged to offer Istisqa prayer.
The statement asked everyone to do Istighfar (act of seeking forgiveness from God), help others and do more good acts so that God will bless them and send them what they want (rain).
It called on all of those who can to act upon the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and offer Istisqa prayer with insistence.
Istisqa means prayer for water, namely seeking water (rain) from God during drought and times of low rainfall.
