The solar eclipse of January 27, 632, also known as Muhammad's Eclipse,[1] was an annular solar eclipse visible in East Africa, Arabian Peninsula, Central Asia, India, and China.[2][3]
Coverage by Islamic history
The eclipse occurred at the time of the death of Ibrahim, a 18-month-old son of Muhammad and rumours of God's personal condolence quickly arose.[4]
But he stood at the mosque and said:
"The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life of someone. When you see the eclipse pray and invoke Allah."[5]
The eclipse is well documented in Islamic sources but no reference to this event has been found in external sources as of yet.[6]
