A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him: "The sky does not shower us with rain." He replied: "Seek Allah's forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله)."

Then another person came to him and said, "I complain of poverty." He replied: "Seek Allah's forgiveness."

Then another person came to him and complained, "My wife is barren; she cannot bear children." He replied: "Seek Allah's forgiveness."

The people who were present, said to al-Hasan: "Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to seek Allah's forgiveness?"

Al-Hasan al-Basri said, "Have you not read the statement of Allah? 'I said "Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers."'" [Nuh (71):10-12]

Do not ever leave istaghfar!

Rasul Allah (saws) said, "If anyone continually asks forgiveness, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, relief from anxiety, and will provide for him from where he never realized."

[Abu Dawood, Hadith 599]

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life.

Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray to Allah for a better umbrella. - That is the attitude!
