KUWAIT, Nov 8 (KUNA) -- As many as 125 mosques nationwide hosted Istisqaa (rain-seeking) prayer at 10:30 am local time on Saturday, just as recommended by the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) during times of drought.
Al-Istisqa prayer is performed during drought and lack of rain and considered as a Sunnah (tradition) practiced by Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), consisting of two rakaas, led by an imam and is followed by a sermon. (end)
