A miracle of Allah, Total Lunar Eclipse June 15th, 2011

June 15: Total lunar eclipse This eclipse will not be visible from North America. The eclipse will be visible from South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and parts of Australia.

December 10: Total lunar eclipse This eclipse will be fully visible from Alaska. The Moon will enter the penumbra at 2:32 A.M. AKST and will leave the penumbra at 8:32 A.M. AKST. The eclipse will be partially visible from parts of North America: Central and western areas will be able to observe both a penumbral and umbral eclipse. The Moon will enter the penumbra at 3:32 A.M. PST and the umbra at 4:45 A.M. PST. A penumbral eclipse will be visible from most of the East Coast, starting at 6:32 A.M. EST, just before the Moon sets.



إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ، لاَ يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَكَبِّرُوا ، وَصَلُّوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا

The Prophet said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of someone's death or life. So, if you see them (i.e. eclipse), celebrate the Praises of Allah, Takbir, slahat (pray), and do sedeqa."  


Be fear with this natural phenomenon. The right attitude when these eclipse phenomena is scared, worried that doomsday would occur. Not the habits of people such as customs people today who just want to see the eclipse event by creating a memorable album phenomenon, without any guidance and would heed the call of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Who knows this event is a sign of coming disaster or adzab, or mark the approach of qiyamah. Look done by our Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:

عن أبى موسى قال خسفت الشمس فى زمن النبى - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقام فزعا يخشى أن تكون الساعة حتى أتى المسجد فقام يصلى بأطول قيام وركوع وسجود ما رأيته يفعله فى صلاة قط ثم قال «إن هذه الآيات التى يرسل الله لا تكون لموت أحد ولا لحياته ولكن الله يرسلها يخوف بها عباده فإذا رأيتم منها شيئا فافزعوا إلى ذكره ودعائه واستغفاره ».

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari radi 'anhu said, "Once a solar eclipse at the time of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam. The Prophet then stood up fear for fear of causing the Day of Resurrection, so he came to the mosque and then he was the prayer by standing, bowing and prostration that long. I've never seen him perform prayers in such a way. "

An Nawawi  explained the purpose of why the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam scared, worried the day of Judgement. He explained by several reasons, among them:
The eclipse is a sign that appears before the signs of apocalypse like the rising sun from the west or the release of Antichrist. Or maybe a partial eclipse is a sign the apocalypse. (Syarh Muslim, 3 / 322).
