The reason why the eclipse prayer is not like the other prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
First: Why was the prayer made in this form, and not like the other prayers? Why are there two bowings in one unit of prayer?
Because its cause is not a customary matter, so it is not like the customary prayer. The setting of the sun is the cause for the sunset prayer; you pray the sunset prayer as usual, but this is an unusual cause, a sign from the signs of Allah. So it was fitting that the prayer be in an unusual form to also be a sign from the signs of Allah. However, the prayer is a legislative sign, and the eclipse is a cosmic legislative sign.
