Adapted from a khtubah I did in March, feel free to take and use if it’s of any benefit…
I want to remind you of the story that took place of Musa (AS). The situation was such that MUSA (AS) was traveling with Bani ‘Israel and they were in the desert. And they were suffering from a severe draught. So Musa’s people said to him why don’t you Musa beseech Allah for us to shower us with some rain. So Musa then recommends his followers and they collectively make du’a and beseech Allah for rain so that they aren’t destroyed by the lack of such a basic necessity that without Allah they cannot make themselves. And then they turn to the sky and Musa (AS) looks in astonishment that from the sky not a single drop was falling. And not only is there no rain falling upon them but the few clouds that were in the sky have now dispersed. Musa (AS) beseeches Allah SWT again and asks Him why are you not answering our prayers what is it that is preventing our du’as from being answered.
