A lunar eclipse is a natural phenomenon where the Moon is in the Earth's shadow because the positions of the Moon, Earth and Sun are aligned. In the Islamic view, a lunar eclipse is considered a sign of Allah's greatness. In the Qur'an, lunar eclipses are referred to as signs of Allah's power (Surat Al-Qiyamah, 75:6-9), and in the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, lunar eclipses are seen as natural lessons for mankind. Scientifically, lunar eclipses are observed and studied by Muslim scientists in the context of astronomy. This knowledge helps determine the beginning and end of the month in the Islamic calendar (hilal).
