Q3:- What did the Prophet ( AS ) remark?

Ans:- The Prophet ( SAW ) said, “ The sun and the moon are two signs of Allah. They do not
suffer an eclipse for any man’s death or life. If you see them eclipsed, you should glorify
Allah, offer Salah and give alms.

Q4:- What is the Salatul Khusuf?

Ans :- Salatu Khusuf is the Salah that is offered during the eclipse of the sun or moon. It is little
