Morocco’s King Calls for Nationwide Prayer for Rain Amid Drought Concerns
King Mohammed VI has ordered that supplicatory prayers (salat al-istisqa) be performed on Friday at 10 AM in the prayer areas (mousallas) and major mosques throughout the regions and provinces of the Kingdom, the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs announced in a statement.
"In execution of His Majesty the King’s Order, supplicatory prayers will be performed on Friday, Jumada I 17, 1445 H, corresponding to December 1, 2023, at 10 AM in the prayer areas (mousallas) and major mosques throughout the regions and provinces of the Kingdom," it states.
Exactly one year ago, the Moroccan sovereign, faced with the scarcity of rains, had ordered the performance of supplicatory prayers in all regions of the kingdom.
