Common GOOD:Muslims taking part in a special prayer held for rain in Monni Street in Virudhunagar on Saturday

Muslims of Virudhunagar participated in a special prayer for rain in Monni Street on Saturday. The prayer, which lasted for about half an hour from 7.15 a.m., was held on the street as the usual venue for such prayers, a school playground, happened to be part of a polling booth.

According to the organisers, it was a different prayer as participants held their palms facing the ground, instead of skywards. All the participants had their shirts inside out. The prayer was led by Riyaz Ahmed, district president of Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath.
