Islam on the Solar Eclipse

All ancient cultures had their own views on a solar eclipse. Because it leads to darkness, many saw this as a bad omen. In the time of Ignorance (Jāhiliyya) the Arabs believed that a solar eclipse occurred upon the death of someone important, or to warn of a forthcoming calamity.
