'As Salatul Ja'amiah'. 'As Salatul Ja'amiah'. 'As Salatul Ja'amiah'. The words on a Friday morning that woke me up at 9. It was a clear and inviting voice. 'The Congregation Prayer' is what those words in Arabic mean. Are they calling for prayer? Is it time already? Is it from the mosque newly renovated that they want to hold Juma'ah prayers or is it for Solar eclipse?
My questions were answered shortly by my uncle, who came barging into the room as a person bringing glad tidings. I didnt comprehend one syllable he uttered. I got up from bed and went into my parents room. My mother had seen it. She asked me to come and see the eclipse. She looked amazed. I was wondering what would be visible at such a cloudy weather. I went and peered at they sky it was cloudy and foggy. My eyes settled on the sun. It was staring to eclipse and for the first time I spent my life on earth, I saw a solar eclipse! A breath of astonishment. The phenomenon in my field of vision was so beautiful! It pulled me close to it. I stole many peeks at the sun as I did not have any protective eye shades.
I grew up and had learnt about eclipses. What happens during that phase when the moon hides the sun it all its glory. How a small satellite body blocks out chunks of rays emitted from the sun and thereby plunging specific areas on earth into darkness and giving off joys of light for its spectators. Never had I seen such a manifestation of Allah's Might. His Makings and Doings.
I got hold of my camcorder and started shooting the eclipse. I captured a few minute video. I was awed when I saw the playback. Next time I hear about the eclipse I am going to prepare myself and never miss it ever again!
