As we know, and as the ancient Greeks knew an
ECLIPSE is a natural occurrence that happens
when the moon, earth and sun are in a
straight line. As such, it happens with much
mathematical regularity, and in fact, we can
easily predict its occurrence. however in
Islam we have these Hadiths
Sahih Bukhari, Book 22:
Volume 2, Book 18, Number 166:
Narrated 'Aisha:
In the lifetime of the Prophet the sun
eclipsed and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) stood up
to offer the prayer with the people and
recited a long recitation, then he performed
a prolonged bowing, and then lifted his head
and recited a prolonged recitation which was
shorter than the first. Then he performed a
prolonged bowing which was shorter than the
first and then lifted his head and performed
two prostrations. He then stood up for the
second Raka and offered it like the first.
Then he stood up and said, "The sun and the
moon do not eclipse because of someone's life
or death but they are two signs amongst the
signs of Allah which He shows to His
worshipers. So whenever you see them, make
haste for the prayer."
WHY ?
also
Volume 2, Book 22, Number 303:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Once the sun eclipsed and Allah's Apostle
stood up for the prayer and recited a very
long Sura and when bowed for a long while and
then raised his head and started reciting
another Sura. Then he bowed, and after
finishing, he prostrated and did the same in
the second Raka and then said, "These (lunar
and solar eclipses) are two of the signs of
Allah and if you see them, pray till the
eclipse is over. No doubt, while standing at
this place I saw everything promised to me by
Allah and I saw (Paradise) and I wanted to
pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the
time when you saw me stepping forward. No
doubt, I saw Hell with its different parts
destroying each other when you saw me
retreating and in it I saw 'Amr bin Luhai who
started the tradition of freeing animals (set
them free) in the name of idols."
EVEN BETTER
Sahih Bukhari, Book 18:
Volume 2, Book 18, Number 159:
Narrated 'Amra bint 'AbdurRahman:
A Jewess came to ask 'Aisha (the wife of the
Prophet) about something. She said to her,
"May Allah give you refuge from the
punishment of the grave." So 'Aisha ' asked
Allah's Apostle "Would the people be punished
in their graves?" Allah's Apostle after
seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment
of the grave (and thus replied in the
affirmative). Then one day, Allah's Apostle
rode to go to some place but the sun
eclipsed. He returned in the forenoon and
passed through the rear of the dwellings (of
his wives) and stood for the (eclipse)
prayer, and the people stood behind him. He
stood up for a long period and then performed
a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the
first bowing. Then he raised his head and
prostrated. Then he stood up (for the second
Raka) for a long while but the standing was
shorter than that of the first Raka. Then he
performed a prolonged bowing which was
shorter than the first one. Then he raised
his head and prostrated. Then he stood up for
a long time but shorter than the first. Then
he performed a prolonged bowing but shorter
than the first. Then he raised his head and
prostrated and finished the prayer and (then
delivered the sermon and) said as much as
Allah wished. And then he ordered the people
to seek refuge with Allah from the punishment
of the grave
and
Volume 2, Book 18, Number 167:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The sun eclipsed and the Prophet got up,
being afraid that it might be the Hour (i.e.
Day of Judgment). He went to the Mosque and
offered the prayer with the longest Qiyam,
bowing and prostration that I had ever seen
him doing. Then he said, "These signs which
Allah sends do not occur because of the life
or death of somebody, but Allah makes His
worshipers afraid by them. So when you see
anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah,
invoke Him and ask for His forgiveness."
QUESTIONS
would not ALLAH have told Mohammed what an
eclipse is all about ?
What is the purpose of Allah frightening his
believers?
with a common thing like an eclipse
allah must have know that the Greeks and
other people knew all about them

WHAT ABOUT ALL THIS "SCIENCE " in the Qur'an
