*Solar and Lunar Eclipses in Islam*
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him 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 when you see them, invoke Allah and pray till the eclipse is clear." [Agreed upon and this exact narration is for Muslim]

Allah is He, who created the sun, the moon, and the stars—[all] governed by laws under His commandment." (Quran 7:54)
"It is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon. All [the celestial bodies] swim along, each in its orbit." (Quran 21:33)
"The sun and the moon follow courses exactly computed." (Quran 55:05)
During a solar or lunar eclipse, there is a recommended prayer called the Prayer of the Eclipse (Salat al-Khusuf) that is performed by Muslim communities who may be in congregation at the time of the eclipse.
