*Solar and Lunar Eclipses in Islam*

*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.

TRUMP vs NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO

TRUMP vs NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO
Donald Trump goes to war with Andrew Cuomo after NY governor accuses him of risking constitutional crisis. Trump said any governor who resisted his 'total authority' is a mutineer (soldier who refuses to obey the orders of a person in authority). The president also threatened to withhold coronavirus aid from states that do not heed his orders to reopen the country.

The New York governor said he would refuse an order from Trump to reopen his state and said he would take the matter to the courts to decide. Cuomo called the president 'schizophrenic (having a mental disorder and interpreting reality abnormally). New York is the most affected state in terms of infections and deaths and Cuomo said president Trump is clearly spoiling for a fight on this issue. He however expressed that he would find it better to walk away from the fight with the president than engaging in it.
