Throughout history, solar eclipses have had profound impact on adherents of various religions around the world.
WorldFILE - A partial solar eclipse is seen behind a cross on the steeple of the St. George church, in downtown Beirut, Lebanon, Sunday, June 21, 2020. They were viewed as messages from God or spiritual forces, inducing emotions ranging from dread to wonder.
“It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining,” says Luke 23:44. But because the asura had already consumed a portion of the nectar, his immortal but detached head and body lived on under the names Rahu and Ketu. Legend has it that Rahu occasionally swallows the sun and the moon because of the gods’ part in his misery, causing solar and lunar eclipses.
On April 8, Aslam will lead the “kusuf” prayer on campus. Customarily, there's a brief sermon after the prayer to explain the lessons behind it and dispel any superstitions around it, he added.
