As people of faith, the impact of human sin becomes apparent as we enter in yet another drought.

We are taught by the blessed Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to turn to God in these times and atone for our sins by collectively praying for rain by performing Salat Al-Istisqa. In addition to supplications seeking rain, this is a time for mass repentance.

This outdoor prayer led by Imam Tahir Anwar on Saturday, August 7, 2021 was organized with the participation of MCC East Bay, Islamic Center of Livermore (ICL), and Evergreen Islamic Center. Watch the sermon at https://youtu.be/LD_6j6HGTAk
