Rain in the UAE is the NEEEEED of the hour right now.

And in all honesty what is winter without a little *natural* rain and winds and cloudy skies?! Ya’feel?

So in that sense, the UAE has announced (as per directives by the President, HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan) that mosques across the country will host special rain prayers called Salaat Al Istisqaa on Friday, December 18.

These prayers will be held 10 mins before the normal Friday prayer
