✅ What to Do

[2]Go out with elders, children, and animals to the prayer ground in humility. (Bukhari 1005) [2]Pray 2 rak'ah aloud, then make prolonged du'a facing qibla, turning the cloak/reversal. (Bukhari 1011) [2]Raise hands high in supplication — the Prophet raised them until armpits were visible. (Bukhari 1005) [2]Make du'a: "Allahumma aghithna, Allahumma aghithna" (O Allah, send us rain). (Bukhari 1014)
🚫 What Not to Do
[h]Despair of Allah sending rain — only disbelievers despair. (Qur'an 30:49) [h]Attribute rain to the stars — say "it rained by the bounty of Allah." (Bukhari 846) [h]Complain about Allah's decree regarding weather.
