The Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued an appeal for Namaz-e-Istisqa, a rain-seeking prayer, urging federal and provincial governments to facilitate these prayers across the country.
With the plains of Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and upper Sindh experiencing a prolonged dry spell and persistent challenges of dense fog and smog, the ministry emphasizes the need for rainfall.
The appeal calls on imams and the public to actively participate, highlighting the broader benefits of rain, including relief from dry and cold conditions, combatting smog, and sustaining vital crops like wheat.
The prayer is seen as a means to address both environmental challenges and agricultural needs for a more comprehensive impact on the well-being of the region.
