The time of rain is a period of Rahmah from Allah, it is an opportune time for one to make du’a. Consider the opportunities for those living in the parts of the world where rainfall is aplenty, while others rarely see it.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: “Du’aa’ is answered when rain is falling, when battle in joined, when the adhaan and iqaamah are given, following prayers, when prostrating, and when offered by one who is fasting, one who is travelling and one who is oppressed, and so on. All of this is narrated in well-known ahaadeeth in the books of Saheeh and Sunan. Du’aa’ is also likely to be answered in the sacred places such as ‘Arafah, Muzdalifah, Mina, the Multazim and other sacred places in Makkah, and in the mosques in general. The greater the virtue of the mosque – such as the three Sacred Mosques [in Makkah, Madeenah and Jerusalem] – the better prayers and du’aa’s are in them.” [Majmu’ Fatawa, 27 /129-130]
And Allah knows best.
This is why I love rain! C:
