The core Islamic belief is that God Almighty (Allah in Arabic and adapted as“EL” inHebrew); is the All Knowing Grand Creator of the universe (attributed as Khallaq ul Alim /Azeem).Islam acknowledges the movements of the celestial bodies and the cosmic effects; their positive and negative impressions (such as the changes that correspond to vegetation and climate etc.) that relate to the physical laws. However, it rejects any attributions promulgated for the purposes of taking Omens and ascribing them to deaths and lives.Islam encourages supplicating to Allah to seek His benevolence at all times; includingthe times when an eclipse occurs.Lunar Eclipse is called Khusuf and Solar Eclipse is termed Kasuf.For both of the occasions, the Islamic Teaching is to offer a special congregational prayer and seek Protection of Allah from all sorts of difficulties and adversities.The manners of the Eclipse Prayer (Salat ulKhusuf / Kasuf)This prayer (Salat) is offered:-1. In congregation;2. Without the formal call of prayer (Azaan and Aqamat);3. Strictly during the occurrence of the eclipse;4. Followed by a sermon about good deedsin life.This prayer (Salat) consists of:-1. Two Rakaats;2. At least Two Rakoohs are performed in each Rakaat;Traditions:-1.
