Kuwait’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs has announced that the eclipse prayer (Salat al-Kusuf) will be performed across mosques in the country on Sunday, September 7, at 8:00 a.m.
The special congregational prayer is being held in connection with the upcoming lunar eclipse, a celestial event that has historically been marked with prayer and reflection in Islamic tradition.
The country's Ministry of Islamic Affairs made the announcement on Wednesday, September 3.
The lunar eclipse prayer, rooted in the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), is performed during rare astronomical events as a reminder of the greatness of Allah and the importance of turning to Him in devotion. Worshippers in Kuwait will gather in mosques early in the morning to observe this significant occasion with supplication and humility.
This initiative reflects Kuwait’s commitment to preserving Islamic traditions while fostering community spirit. The Ministry of Islamic Affairs emphasized the importance of participation, encouraging residents to attend and strengthen their spiritual connection during the eclipse.
The lunar eclipse itself is expected to be visible in Kuwait skies, providing a rare opportunity for both spiritual observance and astronomical appreciation. Residents are advised to check local timings for the best viewing experience while also joining their community in prayer.
As Kuwait prepares for this celestial event, the eclipse prayer highlights the unity of faith and tradition, reminding worshippers of their connection to the natural wonders created by Allah.
