All About Islam - One of the properties is the faith of the believers with the things unseen. The Prophet inform about the torment of Allah swt. The Eclipse of them to demonstrate the power of God Almighty. in torment:
The origins of the Eclipse in Islam
The Eclipse is a sign of the power of God Almighty. to make the fear of man. The Prophet. said:
إنَّ الشمسَ والقمر آيتان من آيات الله، لا يَخسفان لموت أحدٍ، ولكنَّ الله تعالى يخوِّف بهما عباده
"Verily, the Sun and Moon is a sign of the power of God Taala. They are not experiencing the death of a person caused Eclipse, but Allah Taala wanted to make his servant was afraid.
That the Sun and the Moon, though larger than humans, but very fear Allah Taala. The Prophet. said:
إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لا يَنْكسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلا لحياته ، لَكِنَّهُمَا آيتان مِنْ آيات الله ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ يَخْشَعُ لَهُ
"Verily, the Sun and moon do not experience the Eclipse caused the death or birth of a person. Both are a sign of the power of God Taala. Because if God Taala reveals himself to something, then that will be a subject to him. "
A tabi'in narrated, named Thawus cry when there is an Eclipse. He says, "the Sun and the Moon more fear Allah Taala than we do."
How To Know Signs Of Allah Ta'ala?
The sign of the power of God Almighty. means something that shows that God Taala exists and powerful. In fact the Sun and Moon each day is a sign of the power of God Taala. But because the man is familiar, then it is not compelled to meditate on it. Allah Taala said:
"The Holy of Holies of God who made heaven, clusters of stars and He also makes her Sun and Moon shining." [Al-Furqan: 61].
"And a sign of the (God's great power) for them is the night; Our lunch tanggalkan from that night, then immediately they are in darkness, and the sun goes in place of the sale. Thus the Statute the mighty knowing. And we have set for the month manzilah-manzilah, so (after he gets to the last manzilah) return him as the form of bunches of old. It is not possible to get the Sun the Moon and the night cannot precede the day. And each circulating on line of edarnya. " [Yaasin: 37-40].
Humans normally will only contemplate if there are new, whereas the usual sees will pass any of it for granted.
Two kinds of Events in the universe
Natural occurrence is divided into two; that occurred in accordance with the unknown sunnatullah by humans, and that happened outside sunnatullah known to man. Allah Taala power do the outside customs. Should human fear with these powers.
Therefore before there was science, Muslims are commanded to pray implore protection to Allah swt. Because it could have happened things that harm them:
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْآَيَاتِ إِلا تَخْوِيفًا
"And we do not give signs of it but rather to scare." [Al-Israa: 59]
In addition to prayer, Muslims also recommended a lot of giving charity, Dhikr, and many do good.
If now, after there is the science about this phenomenon, to pray as a sign of our confidence to the power of God Almighty.
Phenomenon in the sky rather than the influence of Events on Earth
Natural phenomena of the sky that is not influence events on Earth. But because of the power of God Taala. Unlike some of the beliefs of the group. That moment of Eclipse happens to coincide with the death of Ibrahim, son of the Prophet. Some people say, "there was a solar eclipse because of the death of the son of the Prophet." Then the Prophet. says:
لا يَخسفان لموت أحدٍ
"The Eclipse is not because of the death of someone."
Although there is some mention of the events history shows that nature would support Muslims in his struggle:
- Flood us at Nuh.
- The sea split (save the Prophet Moses and the children of Israel USA.) and back (destroying Pharaoh and his army).
- The cock crowing late when Pharaoh wanted to pursuit of Moses. and the children of Israel.
- The sky was reluctant to cry when Pharaoh died: "then the heavens and the earth do not cry over them and they were not given the tough." [Ad-Dukhan: 29].
- Sun delayed the sinking when Yusya ' Nun against Jabbarin in Palestine.
- Lion submitting and delivering a best friend named Sufainah ra.
- The storm occurred during the wars of Ahzab, and so on.
Islam, the religion of knowledge Against Superstitious
Narrators of the Prophet peace be upon him. above shows Islam is a religion opposed to superstitious which are not based on knowledge. The teachings of Islam compatible with knowledge. But can not make knowledge as a measure. Islam is perfect; knowledge is still evolving. If Islam is compatible with knowledge, then growing human knowledge? stronger their faith to Islam.
People who worship the Sun should know the weaknesses of the Sun; could rising and could also be submerged.
The Prophet. advocate prayer Eclipse. Among the considerations behind so that people are not busy looking at Eclipse. Note that when an Eclipse of the Sun, reflected rays that harm to the eyes, and can cause blindness.
Between the superstitious people of Eclipse:
There are major figures who died.
Chinese people believe that a dragon that ate the Sun. If that happens, Chinese people beating a drum and threw something into the sky to scare the Dragon. After the fear, the Dragon will pull out and throw back the Sun.
Will happen something extraordinary. Because there is a belief the proximity of the Sun with the gods.
In accordance with the calculation, the Prophet. prayer kusuf Syawal on December 29 10 Hijri (632 M). When he overplayed his prayer. It is reported that in prayer, he saw heaven and hell. He wanted to take one stalk wine heaven to shown to the companions. But then he saw the inhabitants of hell and feel afraid so not so pick it up. After praying, he delivered a sermon:
إن الشمس والقمر آيتان من آيات الله ، لا يخسفان لموت أحد ولا لحياته ، فإذا رأيتم ذلك فادعوا الله وكبروا وصلوا وتصدقوا ، يا أمة محمد والله ما من أحد أغير من الله أن يزني عبده أو أن تزني أَمَته ، يا أمة محمد لو تعلمون ما أعلم لضحكتم قليلاً، ولبكيتم كثيراً
"Verily, the Sun and Moon is a sign of the power of God Taala. The two did not experience the Eclipse because of death or the birth of a person. If you guys see the Eclipse, then pray to Allah Taala, recite takbir, founded the prayer, alms remove. O people of Muhammad, for the sake of Allah, Allah Taala most jealous if there's his servant who commits adultery. O people of Muhammad, if you know what I know, you guys will be a little talk and a lot of crying. "
Natural phenomena and Righteous Man
The phenomenon eclipses shows that peace of human life can only be obtained by submitting to the law of God Taala.
Creatures of Allah swt. There are two kinds. First, the universe other than humans, they all believe in Allah. and subject to obey all laws. Allah Taala said:
"Do you not know that the prostrate to God what is in the heavens, the Earth, Sun, moon, stars, mountains, trees, animals who slither and most of humanity? And many of the established human doom it. And he who despises God then no one who honor him. Allah doeth what he wills. " [Al-Hajj: 18].
Second, Man. They are divided into two; believe (fraction) and unbelievers (mostly). Faith and submission to the laws of Allah. This has a direct effect upon the life of:
All the universe of faith: so regular, peaceful life, no damage. While the human being is divided into two; human beings who obey the law of God Almighty. will be living with both physically and ruhaninya, and the men who do not obey the law of God Almighty. will life be filled with inequality; physical pain spiritually, social life, etc. Even the natural damage ever inflicted crimes committed by human beings.
This is corroborated by the relationship between worship and natural phenomena. The prayer of the sunset as the Sun sunk; prayers as the Sun dawns; praying praying when the Sun slipping; the fast of Ramadan when the rising moon of Ramadan; bidh fasting when the Moon is in the middle of the cycle; pray for rain ' when the rain doesn't come down-down; and so on.
Forms of worship that are prescribed to occur between the harmony of the universe with the motion of human motion. When the motion of the hand, then it will happen. When the motion of the hand, then it's not going to happen, the clash, and impact damage.
Lastly, the phenomenon eclipses give a little description of what will happen on the day of resurrection. Allah Taala said:
"Then when the wide-eyed (fear), and when the Moon was eclipsed, and the Sun and Moon were collected on that day, the man said:" where can I run To? " By no means! There is no shelter! Only in the Lord alone on the day of return. " [Al-Qiyamah: 7-12].
Wallaahu A'lam.
