During the rain prayer held in Mecca due to drought, cloaks were worn inside out in accordance with the Sunnah; this practice signifies humility before Allah and the plea for rain.
A prayer for rain was held in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Due to drought and the decrease in rainfall, during the prayer, cloaks were worn inside out in accordance with the Sunnah.
Wearing cloaks inside out during the rain prayer is known as a practice in Islamic tradition. It is stated that this behavior expresses the servant's helplessness and inadequacy before Allah, and also carries the meaning of supplication for rain to fall. Muslims gather during dry periods to perform the rain prayer; a sermon is read, and collective prayers are made. In the program in Mecca, the congregation lined up and prayed together.
