The Prophet ο·Ί responded "The sun and the moon are merely two signs from God's signs; they do not eclipse for the death or life of anyone. So when you see this, then pray and supplicate until it passes."

In this immense Hadith, the Prophet ο·Ί taught us a major principle of Islam: protecting the concept of Allah's oneness and it's sanctity. The creation was created for the worship of God and God alone.

It does not bend to the will of other created beings, and it is not under the control of anyone other than its creator. Nothing in creation is sanctified for any of the creation nor sanctioned to direct any sort of devotion to it.

All praise, thanks, blessing, dominion, and control belong to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
