Khusuf Prayer (Lunar Eclipse) on July 28, 2018 at 01:24 am

Eclipse science is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when a celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body. On Saturday July 28, 2018 at 01:24 am, the full moon will pass through the shadow of the earth. For 103 minutes (1 hour 43 minutes), the silver-colored month will turn red and orange. This will be the longest lunar eclipse of "Blood Moon" in this century.

The timing of Khusuf Prayer should be done from the start of the eclipse or when the moon is covered until the eclipse ends alias the moon looks like a normal condition. Khusuf Prayer can actually be done alone or without the need to go to the mosque. However it is advisable to do it in congregation because the Prophet Muhammad SAW used to do it in congregation in the mosque, with khutbah or without khutbah.

Prayer Khusuf can be done at home and in the mosque, but that is usually done in the mosque. If there is a lunar eclipse we roll around praying in the nearest mosque.
