Lunar Eclipse Prayer Timing and Prophet’s Advice
Muslims turned this dawn on Friday, August 28, 2026, to the major mosques to perform the prayer for the lunar eclipse, which was announced by the Ministry of Awqaf in response to the Sunnah and to distinguish between celestial phenomena and false beliefs. The prayer consists of two rak'ahs accompanied by standing, recitation of two verses, and a sitting position with prostration, with the recitation aloud and extended. The Ministry emphasizes that this prayer is an opportunity to contemplate God's greatness and reflect on the signs of the universe. It also stresses not associating the eclipse with death or life, and prohibits superstitions, encouraging the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of God's natural laws. The Prophet ﷺ prescribed turning to Allah and supplicating during the eclipse, as it is a sign from Allah’s signs, not an indication of a specific event or calamity.
