SUMMARY:Congregational Prayer During Lunar Eclipse | Hafiz Rehan Chishty
DESCRIPTION:Help us revive a Sunnah by joining us after Taraweeh ends at 11 p.m. tonight for worship and the congregational lunar eclipse prayer (Salat al-Kusoof) led by Hafiz Rehan Chishty. The Prophet (PBUH) would engage in worship in the masjid during this unique event. \n\n\n\nAccording to NASA\, though the solar eclipse will begin at about 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.\, we will perform the congregational four cycles of Salat al-Kusoof; the maximum eclipse is anticipated at 11:26 p.m. to 12:31 a.m. \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 13 | ~11 p.m. to 12 a.m. | Prayer Hall | Join in-person or watch live at mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nFor how to perform this prayer\, see here. \n\n– Past Eclipse prayers at MCC: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/eclipse\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Pleasanton\, the eclipse will start at 9 p.m.\, with the maximum eclipse anticipated at 11:26 p.m. to 12:31 a.m. It will be over by 3 a.m. \n\n\n\nWhen the sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allah\, he rushed nervously to the mosque\, dragging his cloak behind him and leading the people in prayer. \n\n\n\nHe told them that the eclipse was one of the signs of Allah\, with which Allah makes His slaves afraid\, and that it may be the cause of punishment coming upon the people. \n\n\n\nHe commanded them to do that which could prevent the punishment\, so he commanded them to pray when an eclipse happens and to make du’aa’\, seek His forgiveness\, give charity\, free slaves\, and do other righteous deeds so that the punishment would go away and not befall the people. \n\n\n\n“The sun and moon are two signs of Allah(ﷻ)\, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that\, then pray until it (the eclipse) is over.” – Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) \n\n\n\nAccording to another hadeeth: “Call on Allah and pray until [the eclipse] is over.” \n\n\n\nSalat Al-Kusuf is a recommended Sunnah (Sunnah Muakkada). It is better to perform in the congregation\, but it can also be done individually. In Salatul Kusuf\, there is no athan or iqama. It is two rakats. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, it can be one long prayer until the eclipse is finished\, or it can be done in multiple prayers throughout the eclipse. \n\n\n\nSteps of Salatul Kusuf – The Solar Eclipse Prayer: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Takbeerat Al-Ihram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Recite Fatiha and long surah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. First Extended Ruku\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Stand up from Ruku – Read Fatiha (optional) followed by long surah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Second Extended Ruku\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Stand up from Ruku\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Two Extended Sujoods\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Stand up for 2nd Rakat and Repeat Steps 1-7\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Salaam on both sides. If the eclipse is not finished\, you may do an additional two rakats or more in the same format until it is complete.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0DbCbpR4Vg\n\nSource: https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/moon/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-march-2025-total-lunar-eclipse/\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Muslims break their daily Ramadan fast with a community dinner called an “iftar.” \nPlease RSVP your attendance so we can ensure we have enough food. \nInterfaith Iftar Event Schedule \n\n– 6:15 p.m. – Arrival & Socializing\n– 6:30 p.m. – The program begins with Vice Mayor Kashef Qaari\n– 7:20 p.m. – Call to Prayer and Breaking of Fast with dates and water\n– 7:27 p.m. – Prayer at Sunset in Prayer Hall (Maghrib) followed by Iftar Dinner in Banquet Hall\n\nThis is the seventh community Iftar in the Tri-Valley. \n\n– Here is the 2017: “What Ramadan Means to Me:” https://youtu.be/tiJgEJT-DM8\n– Here is the 2018 “Why Faith Matters” https://youtu.be/5J8rL9Hepog\n– Here is the 2019 “Loving Across the Difference”: https://youtu.be/JzK7JexOxLw\n– Here is the 2022: “Loving Across the Difference”: https://youtu.be/Hb8_0IUwCBU\n– Here is the 2023: “Moses in Islamic & Jewish Tradition”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU_na-MYy9Y&t\n– Here is the 2024: “Food\, Faith & Fasting”: https://youtu.be/-b4qEhICLbA\n– Here is the 2025: Finding Faith Through Service to Our Community: https://youtu.be/zSnXoXB0cL4?si=s2i3EwfD766G_5Gf\n\nThe Holy month of Ramadan \n“Iftar” is the fast-breaking meal observed each evening at sundown during the holy month of Ramadan. The Interfaith Iftar Dinner allows the whole community to join our Muslim friends for an evening meal as they break their Ramadan fast. \nRamadan in America \nRamadan is about renewing a Muslim’s commitment to God and undergoing a physical and spiritual training program to increase intimacy with his or her faith. \nThe reward for a successful Ramadan is no less than the forgiveness of all sins. Imagine starting with a new slate\, clean with God! So\, in addition to all the improvements Ramadan can make in one’s character and health\, we get to start over with a clean slate. (All our good deeds remain; only the bad deeds disappear). With all these benefits derived from the observance of this blessed month\, is it any wonder that Ramadan is the best time of the year for every Muslim? \nA surprising number of people of other faiths also observe the Ramadan fast here in North America. They recognize the disciplining effects of the fast and use their time to come closer to God. Every year\, Islamic centers receive calls from non-Muslims asking how the fast is performed and where they can get a month-long chart showing the start and end times of each day’s fast. Employers and schools are also beginning to make accommodations for the needs of their Muslim workers and students. \nBecause the month of Ramadan falls about a week earlier each year as the lunar calendar rotates backward through the solar calendar\, Muslims experience varying conditions during their fast. The fasting period is longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. \nThere are also occasions to fast throughout the rest of the year. The Prophet Muhammad’s habit was to fast twice weekly\, on Mondays and Thursdays. \nChildren in Ramadan \nChildren will be present during the prayers\, whether participating\, watching\, or\, for younger children\, imitating the movements of their elders. Their presence continues the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad\, who was very tender toward children. The Prophet sometimes carried one of his grandchildren on his shoulder while leading the prayer and was also known to shorten the prayer if he heard a baby cry. \nMore about Ramadan \nThere are no special preparations to begin the month of Ramadan. Some Muslims fast in anticipation of the month. Muslims understand that it is going to be a month of intense religious devotion and a time of self-denial: no food\, drink\, sex\, profanity\, fighting\, or lying allowed from first light to sundown. The main components of the month consist of two meals: one before sunrise and the other at sunset. \nOne particular night of Ramadan has special significance. It is the exact night the Qur’anic revelation was first revealed to Muhammad in 610 C.E. It is known as Laylat ul Qadr\, or the Night of Power. According to the Prophet Muhammad\, it falls on one of the odd-numbered nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. Many Muslims stay up all night seeking the Lord’s forgiveness and guidance. \nThank you for joining us. \nThe Iftar\, or “fast-breaking\,” is an integral part of the Muslim community’s life during the sacred month of Ramadan. Every day of the month\, at sunset\, Muslims gather in homes and mosques to break their fast together. This communal meal comes after a day of self-discipline in which Muslims abstain from food and drink and make an extra effort to avoid impatience and harsh words. After eating\, Muslims will spend the evening seeking the pleasure of God through contemplation and prayer. \nThe Islamic Greeting \nThe Islamic greeting frequently heard in the mosque is the Arabic phrase\, “as-salaam alaykum” (“peace be with you”). It is returned by saying\, “wa alaykum as-salaam (“and with you be peace”).” \nWhat is Ramadan? \nRamadan (pronounced rom-a-don) is the ninth month of the lunar calendar used by Muslims. This month is special because the Qur’an (the Islamic scripture) was first revealed in it. During Ramadan\, all healthy adult Muslims fast by abstaining from food and drink from dawn to sunset. They also strive to abstain from all evil speech and actions. It is recommended that each Muslim read the entire Qur’an during this month. \nWhen will the fast be broken? \nAt sunset\, the adhan (call to prayer) will be made. This call to prayer is always recited melodiously in Arabic. The adhan signals Muslims to break their fasts\, often done with the traditional three dates and water. Before sitting down to a meal\, Muslims stand together for the sunset prayer\, one of the five daily prayers Muslims must perform. \nThe Call to Prayer (translation) \n\nGod is Most Great\, God is Most Great\nGod is Most Great\, God is Most Great\nI bear witness that there is no god but (the One) God\nI bear witness that there is no god but (the One) God\nI bear witness that Muhammad is a Messenger of God\nI bear witness that Muhammad is a Messenger of God\nHasten to prayer\, Hasten to prayer\nHasten to success\, Hasten to success\nGod is Most Great\, God is most Great\nThere is no god but (the One) God\n\nThe Sunset Prayer \nAfter the call to prayer\, Muslims will hasten to the mats to line up for congregational prayer. They will form tight ranks\, symbolizing unity and equality within the Muslim community. Men and women form separate lines for the prayer to maintain modesty and concentration during the physical movements of standing\, bowing\, and prostration. Their separation does not indicate any relative superiority or inferiority. \nThe prayer begins as the Imam\, or prayer leader\, raises his hands with the words “Allahu Akbar (“God is the Most Great”).” From that moment\, worshippers are required to devote total concentration to the prayer as they follow the words and actions of the Imam. \nThe Imam first recites the opening chapter of the Qur’an (entitled al-fatiha) aloud\, then follows with more Qur’anic verses of his choosing. After the recitation\, worshippers bow and prostrate in unison\, silently glorifying God. \nWhen will the fast be broken? \nThe prayer ends as worshippers turn their faces to either side with the Arabic words “Peace be with you and the mercy of God.” Some of the congregation will then stand to leave\, while others will add their devotions. \nAl-Faitha (Translation) \nThe Qur’an’s opening chapter is akin to the “Lord’s Prayer.” \n\nIn the name of God\, the Compassionate\, the Merciful\nPraise be to God\, Lord of the Worlds\,\nThe Most Compassionate\, the Most Merciful\nRuler of the Day of Judgment\nOnly You do we worship\, Only You we ask for help\nShow us the straight path\nThe path of those whom You have favored\nNot that of those who earn Your anger nor those who go astray.\n\nThe Iftar \nAfter completing the sunset prayer\, Muslims join in a joyous and nutritious meal. Because Islam is a global religion\, many special Ramadan foods are enjoyed by different ethnic groups: soups\, salads\, rice dishes\, meats\, and sweets. \nDuring Ramadan\, Muslims begin their meals with “O God\, for you I fasted\, and in You I believe\, and with Your provision I broke my fast. After eating\, Muslims say “al-hamdu lillah (“Thanks be to God”).” \nThe Night Prayer \nThe final of the five daily prayers is said as night falls. Like the other four prayers\, it is preceded by the adhan and performed in congregation. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org

The Battle of Badr was a turning point for the entire Ummah\, and many lessons can be learned from the events. \nCommemorating events from the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gives life to our hearts\, strengthens our faith\, and inspires love\, reverence\, and dedication within us. \nJoin us after Taraweeh tonight (Sunday) with Shayk Talal Ahdab\, who will impart lessons from this battle in which the impossible became possible. \n\nMore Shaykh Talal: mcceastbay.org/talal\n\n11 p.m. to 12 a.m. | Sunday\, March 16 | MCC Prayer Hall | Join in person or watch online at mcceastbay.org/live \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nThe historic Battle of Badr took place on the 17th of Ramadan. \nAs we commemorate the Battle of Badr (17th of Ramadan)\, we reignite our trust\, love\, and connection to Allah\, who made the seemingly impossible possible by granting Muslims victory and aiding them with Divine assistance. As Muslims in our Ummah struggle in different aspects of our lives\, it is Allah ﷻ again who can assist us in times of need and make what we feel to be insurmountable a true victory for this life and the Next. \nJoin us or tune in to reignite our Badr inspiration in our lives! This was when only 313 Muslims heroically fought on the battlefield at Badr against seemingly insurmountable odds; this night in 2025 is especially relevant given the struggles of our brothers and sisters around the world. \nOn the 17th of Ramadan\, our Beloved Prophet ﷺ courageously led 313 Muslims into their first major battle against their adversaries. \nThe Qurayshi Meccans\, with their 1\,000-strong army\, were formidable opponents to the believers. As the two sides clashed on the battlefield\, the Quraysh were taken by surprise and retreated in fear. \nAngels descended upon the battlefield\, turning the tide in favor of the Muslims. This victory marked their success in the first battle fought against the disbelievers. \nThe Muslim community faced further challenges\, some of which resulted in less favorable outcomes. However\, the fledgling ummah persevered despite these setbacks\, paving the way for the continued dissemination of the Prophet’s message. \nThanks to the brave sacrifices of our predecessors 1400 years ago\, we are honored to continue spreading Islam’s uplifting message.
