Question:
Are the lunar and solar eclipses, and their frequency, considered among the signs of the Hour? And is their frequency connected to sins?
Answer:
Yes. They are connected to sins. Therefore, when the sun was eclipsed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out dragging his garment, in a state of alarm, dragging his garment, fearing that the Hour had come. And when he led them in the prayer of the eclipse, he reminded them and admonished them, saying: Indeed Muwatta Malik 12:1, so there is no doubt that the eclipse is among the signs of Allah by which Allah frightens His servants. He said (peace and blessings be upon him): "The sun and the moon are two signs Sahih Muslim 901f of them, so pray and supplicate Sunan an-Nasa'i 1502Sahih (Darussalam).
The fact that it is calculated does not indicate that it occurs at the time of punishment or at the establishment of the Hour. The moon or the sun may be eclipsed and the light may not return to them. Who is it that returns the light to them? It is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It may not return because of the sins of the servants. Punishment, yes.
