It seems there's going to be a lunar eclipse later today and I'm hearing all sorts of things from the womenfolk. About the food, about not going out, pregnancy precautions. I was just wondering is there even an inch of authenticity in all this. As far as I know, Prophet (SallAllahuAlayhiWaSallam) prescribed offering Salaat-ul-Kusoof and Salaat-ul-Qusoof during eclipse. Don't know which one is for solar and which one for lunar. Apart from these nawaafeel prayers, are there any other things mentioned in Islam about eclipse? I know of the eclipse which took place when Ibrahim [Rasoolullah's (SallAllahuAlayhiWaSallam) son] died and Rasoolullah (SallAllahuAlayhiWaSallam) did make it clear to the Sahaba that the death had nothing to do with the eclipse. I'm asking because my wife's 2 and a half months pregnant, alhamdulillah . And I'm trying hard to protect the child from all sorts of nonsense from now itself.
If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.
Surah Ale Imran : 160
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) climbed up Uhud, accompanied by Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan, and the mountain shook with them. He struck it with his foot and said: “Stand firm, O Uhud, for there is no one on you but a Prophet or a Siddeeq or two martyrs.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3483)
Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Taala) does not inspire seeking forgiveness in a slave whom he wishes to punish.
