In tough trying times apart from actual help that comes our way, faith is something people turn towards without thinking twice. At least that's what the Muslim population of Australia is doing currently. A group of Muslim worshipers have come together in a park to pray for rain amid the worsening drought and the ongoing bushfire crisis. More than 50 men, women and children gathered at Bonython Park in Adelaide on Sunday, to pray for rain to be sent to the farmers struggling with drought and the victims of the bushfires.
'Today I joined with my Muslim sisters and brothers in Adelaide in prayer for rain,' Priest Patrick McInerney, from the centre for Christian and Muslim Relations, said in an announcement.
'My friend, Professor Mohamad Abdalla, gave the khutbah (sermon) emphasising repentance and reliance on God who is Merciful Provider.' he added.
The service was conducted a day after pilot Dick Lang, 78, and his 43-year-old son, Clayton, were killed in a bushfire, on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia.
"We are devastated to have lost two beloved members of our family, Dick Lang and his youngest son Clayton Lang, in such terrible circumstances," - their family said in a statement.
With fires going wilder than ever, about 50 fire-fighters are already deployed to battle the uncontrollable blaze, over the weekend. But even so, people in heaps and bounds assembling and helping out in whatever way they can is quite overwhelming.
From the Sikh community aiding in providing free food for people affected by the bushfires, to the Muslims coming together and praying for the fires to cease, everyone is doing what they can to help the animals and humans alike. Here's truly hoping the fires settle down eventually and not much life is at stake.
