Riyadh: The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has called for performing the Istisqa (rain-seeking) prayer throughout the entire Kingdom tomorrow, Thursday, the Royal Court said in a statement today. The statement urged everyone to supplicate to Allah Almighty for forgiveness, repentance, good deeds, and rainfall.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the call for Istisqa prayer reflects the deep-rooted tradition in Islam of seeking divine assistance during times of drought and scarcity of rain. The Royal Court’s statement emphasized the importance of unity and humility in the face of natural challenges, encouraging the populace to engage in earnest prayer and reflection.

The tradition of Istisqa prayer is a significant aspect of Islamic practice, particularly in arid regions where communities rely heavily on rainfall. By calling for a nationwide prayer, King Salman aims to unite the Kingdom in a collective spiritual effort, reminding citizens of the importance of faith and commu
nal supplication.

The Royal Court’s announcement has been met with widespread support across the Kingdom, with many citizens expressing their readiness to participate in the prayer. The Istisqa prayer serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of human actions and natural phenomena, urging individuals to seek forgiveness and commit to positive deeds in their daily lives.
