SS-How was Mecca saved from the drought with our Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) Supplication
How was Mecca saved from the drought with our Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) Supplication?
Our Beloved Prophet (PBUH) was still under his grandfather, Abdulmuttalib’s care. Mecca and its surroundings were suffering from terrible hardship and famine due to the drought. Abdulmuttalib, who understood his grandson’s degree of importance, took him and his son, Abu Talib, to the Abu Qubays Mountain. The Qurayshis were coming right behind them. Abdulmuttalib turned his face towards the Kaaba and lifted our Holy Prophet (PBUH) towards the sky three times and begged, “My Lord! Gladden us by sending rain for the sake of this child”. The supplication that was done out of respect for the Master of the Universe (PBUH) was accepted. Raindrops instantly mixed with the people’s and the gentry’s teardrops of happiness. All of these occurrences further increased the love and attachment the grandfather had towards his grandson and strengthened his conviction that his grandson would become an exalted person in the future. And it was for this reason that he showed the utmost care to this radiant grandchild.
