In The Name of Allah The Beneficent The Merciful Lunar Eclipse Respected Believers in North America, As-Salamu Alaykum, We would like to bring your attention to the lunar eclipse over the majority of North America, on Wednesday, October 8, 2014. For lunar eclipse details and the time it will occur in your respective area, please click here. Religious obligation During a Solar or Lunar eclipse, it is obligatory (wajib) to perform the special prayer, “Salat-ul-‘Ayaat”. Below are the specific instructions on how to perform the prayer. One should offer the prayer of al-‘Ayaat, and its method is as follows: 1. Make the intention (Niyyah) of offering the prayers as Salat-ul-‘Ayaat. 2. One should say Takbir: “Allahu ‘Akbar” 3. Recite Surat-ul-Fatiha and any other Surah* 4. Then perform the Ruku. 5. Then stand and recite Surat-ul-Fatiha and any other Surah and then perform another Ruku. 6. One should repeat this action five times, and, when he stands after the fifth Ruku, he should perform two Sajdah, and then stand up to perform the second Rakah in the same manner as he has done in the first. 7. Then he should recite Tashahhud and end it with Salam. *Please note that a person is allowed to say Takbir and recite Surat-ul-Fatiha and then divide the verses of another Surah into five parts, and recite one verse or more or less, and thereafter perform the Ruku. He should then stand up and recite another part of the Surah (without reciting Surat-ul-Fatiha) and then perform another Ruku. He should repeat this action, and finish that Surah before performing the fifth Ruku. For more details see Islamic Law Book click here. We ask the Almighty Allah to accept all your deeds and worships. Religious Affairs Office I.M.A.M.
