Salat Al Kusuf (Solar Eclipse Prayer) at 1:30pm today
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu
Respected Community,
We will have Salat-Ul-Kusuf today Monday, April 8th'2024 prior Duhr at 1:30pm in Allen Masjid. Just to remind the community that Dallas will be able to see the moon fully cover the sun at 1:40 p.m. CT . This is a forgotten Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH).
Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a solar eclipse during the life time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he prayed with a long standing, similar to what it takes to recite Surat Al-Baqarah****. Then, he made a long bowing. After which, he stood and made another long recital but shorter than the first one. Again he went into bowing, but for a shorter time than in the first one. Following this, he made sajdah [twice]. Next he made another long standing (qiyam) which was also not as long as the first. After that, he made another lengthy bowing but it was not as long as the first one. Again, he made another long standing [and recital] but it was not as long as the first one. After which, he made another lengthy bowing but it was not as long as the previous one. Following this, he went into prostration [and so on]. When he had finished, the sun had appeared. He concluded his prayer and said: The sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah, and there is no eclipse due to the death or life of anyone. If you see it, make remembrance of Allah.' (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
When you see the eclipse, remember Allah SWT and say Takbir, pray and give Sadaqa.
See you all, InshaAllah.
