Lunar Eclipse Prayer 2026 Guide
Salat al-Khusuf (the eclipse prayer) is a Sunnah act performed when a lunar eclipse occurs. It consists of two rak'ahs, each containing two recitations, two bowings, and two prostrations, performed collectively in the mosque if possible. The worshiper in each rak'ah performs four bowings and four prostrations. The recitation in the prayer is done aloud, with the recitation in the first rak'ah gradually prolonged to enhance humility and supplication. It is recommended to complete the prayer during the duration of the eclipse, increasing supplication, seeking forgiveness, and pondering God's power. The Sunnah emphasizes that this cosmic phenomenon is a call to worship, not related to the death of a person or any personal events.
