Solar Eclipse - the Anger of Allah ? or the Awe of Allah? | Mufti Abu Layth

alikum folks Allah bless you all right an interesting one we have tonight a solar eclipse occurring in the UK so many people trying to view it but how do we view it in Islam is it as many people online saying this is the anger of Allah Allah is angry he is you know it's his cursed to humanity it's is this how we should view these

things and you can see it for yourself the sah Hadith the most authentic byar it clearly sets the stage to answer all of this and that is no not at all these things are signs of God when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam his son passed away there was a solar eclipse and many people started to say that this is the anger of God or this is Allah's you know that this is the fact

that this the sun is so saddened with with what's going on or and people start to attribute all kinds of uh um you know is this a curse for mankind that the prophet's son has passed away that there is a solar eclipse and the prophet said and this is a testimony to the character of the Prophet

sallallah you know that here the prophet immediately denounced any such you know as these people they falsely attribute to the messenger of Allah that he was making things up and doing things like this this would have been a golden opportunity then to seize this this phenomenon and attribute it to yourself and say well see this is what's happened because of but the messenger of Allah s alai wasam you know Al

am he said that the sun and the moon are that they are signs from the signs of Allah they've got nothing to do with life and death on Earth in the sense that they are not going into Eclipse because it's a sad day or a har day or that Allah is now happy with his creation or that he's angry with his creation for

something these are and in theith of the Prophet said if you see such a thing and there's other narrations where people do try to show about about some kind of fear or intimidation or uh but in the this is how it reads and Salah in its heart is a Dua and then there is a Salah as

well that remembrance of Allah that if you see the sign what what do the signs of Allah mean to us Allah says that he he shows us his his signs he shows them his signs Allah shows his signs which are his ayat are where they are in the cosmos in in us are signs of

Allah his ayat are also in scripture his book his ayat what do the ayat of Allah call us to do they call us to ponder to connect with Allah you know they they show us his glory his majesty allahar so it's not something to become all saddened by or intimidated by or afraid of but to see the glory of Allah in these things Allah bless you allum hold
