In response to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai has announced the holding of a special rain prayer in all mosques within the emirate that conduct Friday prayers. This event is scheduled for Friday, October 17, at 12:45 PM, which is half an hour prior to the Friday sermon. This practice emulates the tradition of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in seeking rain and mercy from Allah.
The decision to organize this prayer reflects the commitment of the leadership to revitalize communal religious practices and to instill the values of faith and reliance on God among community members.
The department encourages all residents and citizens to take part in this spiritual observance and to turn to Allah in prayer for rain and blessings upon the nation.
