Cleansing and letting go:
Rain acts as a natural cleanser, washing away dust and impurities. It teaches us the importance of letting go of negativity, grudges, and emotional baggage, allowing ourselves to feel refreshed and renewed.
Why is rain a divine gift of God?
Rain is an absolute divine gift of God.
It is a blessing from God. It is the source of water to land. and water is an element that all living organisms use.
In the Islamic tradition, the rain is a symbolism of Allah’s mercy. During the time of the rain, it was a customary practice to ask Allah for that mercy in an intimate prayer or dua. This practice helps us to change our perspective on rain from being just an ordinary phenomenon to being a purposeful manifestation of Allah’s power, and bounty. Therefore, this individual does not merely recognize the rain, but also recognizes Who the ultimate source of life is, and directs their focus from the temporary changes of nature to the constant nature of Allah, who remains merciful. During the time of rain, the dua that is made can be an intimate conversation with Allah, where one shares their deepest troubles, hopes, dreams and desires or simply asks for that mercy. I think it’s beautiful because rainy days feel lonely and this act allows you to know that Allah is always there for you.
In the Islamic hadiths, we are told that the dua during the time of rain is answered. This encourages people to spill out their heart contents. In this therapeutic way, duas for relief from any feelings, worries and anxieties are brought to surface to be shared with Allah, rather than being suppressed internally to be carried alone. On the other spectrum, duas that express one’s needs and wants encourage that person to look towards growth in life, to focus on the positives of changing one’s life and to take that first step in doing so, which is to actually visualize that reality. Too often, we block our own dreams because they never make it past the noises in our own minds. We fear risks, rejection and judgement. But when the conversation is with the Lord of the entire worlds, who is All-Mighty and All-knowing, those obstacles can easily be overcome.
