"As Muslims, who must be grateful for every blessing from Allah, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught the Muslim ummah to pray. This includes when it rains. Allah SWT says, 'He is the one who made the earth a bed for you and the sky a ceiling, and He sends down water (rain) from the sky, then He produces with it all kinds of fruits as provision for you; so do not associate partners with Allah, while you know.' (QS. Al-Baqarah: 22) Now, here is a prayer that friends of Dream can recite when it rains, as compiled by Dream from various sources."

When Dream's friends heard the thunderous sound of thunder, the Prophet Muhammad taught to recite the following prayer: اّللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَلاٞ تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ Translation: "O Allah, do not kill us with Your anger, and do not destroy us with Your punishment, and forgive us before that." (Narrated by Tirmidhi)

Seeing lightning is a phenomenon that makes most people feel scared. Lightning itself is the light that comes with thunder. This often happens when the rainy season arrives. Instead of being immersed in fear, it would be better if Dream's friends approach Allah SWT by reciting the following prayer: سبحان من يريكم البرق خوفا و طمعا Subhana man yurikumul barqa khaufan wa thoma'aa. Meaning: "Glory be to Allah who has shown you lightning, which is why you become fearful and hopeful."

The descent of rain is a blessing bestowed by Allah SWT. Especially after the earth has experienced a long dry season with intense heat that makes many people feel uncomfortable. So, when it rains, especially in heavy conditions, we should not complain. Instead, let us practice the prayer taught by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, as follows: اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا Allahumma shoyyiban naafia'an. Meaning: "O Allah, send down upon us beneficial rain." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

While the rain is pouring heavily, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught his ummah to practice the following prayer: اللَّهُمَّ حَوَّالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا، اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الْآكَامِ وَالْجَبَالِ وَالظَّرَابِ وَبُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ
Meaning: "O Allah, send rain around us, not upon us. O Allah, send rain to the highlands, mountains, hills, valleys, and places where trees grow." (Narrated by Bukhari)

Then, when the rain subsides, don't forget to pray to Allah SWT. Here is the reading that friends of Dream can practice: مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ (Muthirna bi fadhlillahi wa rohmatih). It means: "We are given rain because of the grace and mercy of Allah."
