Summary
Several supplications for rain are narrated from the Prophet SAW, including those recorded by al-Bukhari and Abu Daud, and these were recited in the istisqa' supplication. The ruling states that supplicating with wording from the Quran and sunnah is better. However, it is permitted to use other wording because the matter of supplication is broad, as long as the meaning is good and does not contradict Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, berdoa dengan apa yang disebutkan di dalam al-Quran dan juga sunnah adalah lebih baik.
