The Moment of Rain

Ahmad Ripaai b Mat Noh

Rain exist in every corner of the world. In some parts of the world, it rains heavily but in another is rare. Rain sometime accompanied with lightning and storm and sometime it is just purely rain. Rain could cause flood and could destroy home but rain is a time that we sometime pray for. Rain exist in this world even before mankind and it is a part of the process of the the natural cycles.

Rain created by the Might as a gift to the living creatures of the world. How it happens is no longer a mystery. By now mankind has had the knowledge of how it happens and can even predict when it is going to happen. Rain keeps the life going although we sometime hate it. We like it or not it shall keep on coming till end of time.

But do we realized that there is a very short moment when its rains, which is so beautiful, so calm, and so peaceful?

The moment is immediately just after the rain stopped. The life at the moment seems still and it is so touched. Always find the moment and use the moment to thanks Allah swt who has given us this living.


Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail, and smiteth therewith whom He will, and averteth it from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning all but snatcheth away the sight. (Al Noor: 43) 


Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); and has opened roads (ways and paths etc.) for you therein; and has sent down water (rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation. (Ta Ha : 53)
