Salaatul Kusoof - Solar Eclipse Prayer

Asalamu'alykum wa rahmatullahi barakatuh, 

The Prophet SAW said “If you see anything of that (Solar Eclipse), then pray until it is over.” (Muslim)

This Monday (August 21st) will be a total solar eclipse. We will be experiencing a partial eclipse in our area from approximately 3PM to 4PM. In accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW, we will be offering the special Eclpise prayers known as Salaatul Kusoof at the Masjid. We will be starting after Dhuhr at 3PM until approximately 4PM.

We may not get many opportunities to observe this Sunnah as we may only be able to experience a few solar eclipses during our lifetime. Because of this we encourage everyone to join us tomorrow for this special occasion. 

Jazakallah Khair
