Why is prayer said in the face of natural disasters?
It is a prayer to ask for protection during the season of hurricanes, tornadoes, and other meteorological events. Before, during and after they take place.
It is widely used to ask for protection and to seek comfort for all those people who are going through difficult moments due to a natural disaster, such as the devastation to their homes due to the impact of a tornado.
It is also prayed as a powerful prayer to ask for protection for countries and regions that are under threat from the arrival of an extreme natural phenomenon that could trigger a disaster; for example a tornado, hurricanes, an earthquake, and storms that cause flooding.
The prayer also serves so that the people who pray it can strengthen their faith during those difficult times they go through as a result of the impact of a natural disaster.
