The person praying recites aloud for rain so that he can hear those behind him, to prevent them from worrying about what they hear from the Qur’an, so that they can contemplate its verses and distract their souls from their thoughts by contemplating the meanings of the Qur’an, and so that they may be rewarded in terms of their hearing. Their good listening to the imam’s recitation may be one of the reasons for the rain to fall, because they performed it. It is obligatory for them to comply with God’s command, saying, “And when the Qur’an is recited, listen to it and be silent, that you may receive mercy. ”
