Lunar Eclipse Prayer
January 20, 2019 @ 11:30 pm - January 21, 2019 @ 1:00 am
Insha’Allah ICF will observe the eclipse prayer during the total lunar eclipse projected for Sunday through Monday morning. We will observe the prayer (led by Hafiz Hamid Mohammed) during the total eclipse phase from 11:40 PM Saturday night through 12:45 AM Sunday morning.
Narrated Abu Bakra:
We were with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) when the sun eclipsed. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-rak`at prayer till the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone’s death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over.”
