Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the topic of eclipses and acquaints us with the factors that come into place when an eclipse takes place. What is the Islamic position on the solar and lunar eclipses and the Qusoof and Khusoof prayers prayed at the time of the occurrence of an eclipse? History of Islam considers the death of the beloved son of the Prophet ﷺ as one of the most tragic incidents to have transpired in the life time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. What seemed even miraculous on that fateful day was the eclipse of the sun which people attributed to the death of the Prophet's ﷺ son. When the Prophet ﷺ heard of these rumours, he said: "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life of someone, but they are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. So, if you see them, offer the Prayer (of eclipse in praise of Allah)". Eclipsing is a supremely profound and awe inspiring celestial happening and it goes on to certify the Signs of Allah's Might and Power.
