Question:
Salaam
When it rains they say blessings come does that also mean when it floods as well or is that Allah’s anger so if it is ferocious weather it’s Allah’s anger.
Wassalam
Allah bless you.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Floods are a sign of divine tests and/or anger for the believers and divine anger for the unbelievers. This is why the dua for rain entails asking for “suqya rahma“, rain of mercy, as opposed to what the Qur’an calls “matar al-saw‘” or rain of harm.
