“Join us in reviving the Sunnah of the Eclipse Prayer (Salaatul Kusuf) on Monday from 2:00 -3:00 PM at IIT.
The prayer is a special prayer during an eclipse,
consisting of two rakaats,
with each rakaat having two Rukis and two recitations.
Be prepared for two long rakaats!
Imam : AbdulFatah Jahedar

3. Then he bows, making it lengthy.
4. Then he rises from bowing and says: Sami`a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka Al-hamd.
