All of us have the duty to continue these actions, which are favorable to God, and to continuously keep working to try to mitigate the aftermath of such painful events is everyone’s duty.

The rare summer rainfalls and flash floods in several provinces of Iran have killed at least 61 people during the past week, while more than 30 others are still missing.
Scientists say climate change amplifies extreme weather, including droughts as well as the potential for the increased intensity of rain storms.
