I pray for more rain. Healthy happy rain. (No flash flooding please.)

There's something spiritual about rain.

The dreariness before it rains, the gloominess during the downpour, and the brightness after. Most everything looks better after the rain. The droopy dry flowers perk up and their colors become more vivid. Everything glistens with dew.

A baptism by the heavens. A closeness to the Creator. He ordains and we receive. A blessing.


عن أنس قال : أصابنا ونحن مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مطر قال : فحسر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثوبه حتى أصابه من المطر فقلنا : يا رسول الله لم صنعت هذا ؟ قال لأنه حديث عهد بربه
