Dua when it rains

When: When you see the rain start

For parents & teachers

Teaching this dua

Rain is exciting for little ones, which makes it a great moment for a dua. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked for rain that does good, not rain that does harm. Say it at the window together, then talk about what the rain does: it waters the trees, fills the rivers and grows the food we eat. A rainy-day walk in boots, spotting puddles, worms and dripping leaves, turns the dua into a memory.
