Australian Muslims offer public prayer for rain
More than 50 Muslim worshipers took to Bonython Park in Adelaide on Sunday, offering public prayer for rain in the bushfire and drought-ravaged areas.
They were joined by priest Patrick McInerney, from Christian-Muslim Relations.
Priest Patrick McInerney said, ‘Today I joined with my Muslim sisters and brothers in Adelaide in prayer for rain”.
“My friend, Professor Mohamad Abdalla, gave the khutbah (sermon) emphasizing repentance and reliance on God who is Merciful Provider”, he added.
As being reported, this service took place a day after a pilot Dick Lang, 78, and his 43-year-old son, Clayton, a surgeon, were killed in bushfires on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia.
They have been out fighting the blaze and were returning to a family property when they got trapped in the blaze.
