Sixteen mosques across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia have conducted a special 'rain prayer' during the annual 'Feast of Sacrifice' celebration.
In Sydney's south-west, tens of thousands of worshippers crowded outside Lakemba Mosque for morning prayers.
"We felt that due to the meaning of this celebration which is about sacrifice, that we come together as a community and pray to god so that he can bring down rain," Ahmad Malas, a director of the Lebanese Muslim Association, told SBS News.
"Whatever happens to the wider Australia community, it directly affects the wider Muslim community...when it comes to issues like this, we stand in solidarity to support those in need."
Farmers are currently battling harsh conditions across New South Wales and Queensland in what some are calling the worst drought in living memory.
Sheikh Fawaz Kamaz who led the morning prayers, said today was an opportunity to show the Muslim community share's the crisis with fellow Australians.
The community has also launched a fundraising campaign with all money to be given to a partner charity to disburse to farmers.
