In response to the alarming scarcity of rains this winter season, Chairman Ulema Council, Maulana Tahir Ashrafi, announced that Namaz-e-Istisqa will be offered on January 26 in Pakistan. The press conference held on Monday highlighted the gravity of the situation, with Maulana expressing concerns that Pakistan might face a drought if the much-needed rainfall does not arrive promptly.
The Namaz-e-Istisqa, a prayer seeking divine intervention for water during times of drought, serves as a crucial tradition in the face of persistent low rainfall. Maulana emphasized that the prayers are not only an appeal for rain but also a humble request for forgiveness from the almighty God.
During the press conference, Maulana Ashrafi took a moment to commend the interim government and military leadership for their decisive response to Iran’s strikes. He confidently asserted that Pakistan possesses the strongest defensive system capable of withstanding any challenges thrown its way.
“We stand unwavering in our commitment to the integrity of our country,” Maulana declared.
As the nation unites in prayer for rain and reinforces its defensive stance, the impending Namaz-e-Istisqa marks a pivotal moment for Pakistan. The citizens, along with the Ulema Council, remain hopeful that their collective plea will bring relief from the ongoing drought and safeguard the country’s well-being.
