When information stream used to flow like gentle wind, we would hear soft news and our moods would elevate, we would stay in positive mood for a long time with good intention in our hearts. We would hear many women who served their old fathers in law for years and received their sincere supplication.
For that reason if they touch sand it turns into “gold”; we also would hear a father giving his one kidney to his ill son. Look at how great is the Almighty that both the father and the son with one kidney only are still alive and living happily; another case with the lady we would hear who saved her baby given the choice to save her own life or her baby before the delivery at pregnancy hospital. That was a normal humane action of the lady who saved her child without a single hesitation and without ever having seen it. Look again at how great is the Almighty that both the mother and the child are alive and happy again. They are clear in front of us, they are clear in front of God!
But, when information stream has become a thunderstorm we have started endless negative news.
Due to the lack of rainfall during this year’s autumn season and the absence of precipitation expected in the coming days, the initiative of the Chairman of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, Mufti Shaykh Nuriddin Kholiqnazar, has designated 28 November 2025, Friday, for performing Salat al-Istisqa (the prayer for rain) in all mosques across our country after the Friday prayer.
On this occasion, sacrificial animals will be slaughtered at regional, district, and city central mosques, as well as at pilgrimage sites, and the meat will be distributed to families in need, orphans, and the elderly.
On the same day, before the Friday prayer, teachers and students of higher and secondary specialized Islamic educational institutions will complete a full reading (khatm) of Imam al-Bukhari’s Sahih al-Bukhari.
Imams currently performing the ‘umrah pilgrimage in Makkah al-Mukarramah and Madinah al-Munawwarah are encouraged to perform the Salat al-Istisqa together with their groups in the Noble Harams.
