Merdeka.com – The phenomenon of a total lunar eclipse or super blood moon will be seen in Indonesia, Wednesday (26/5). Mayor Makassar Moh Ramdhan Pomanto issued a letter appealing to Muslims in the city to hold Khusuf prayers or lunar eclipse prayers.
The man who is familiarly called Danny Pomanto said the total lunar eclipse was an extraordinary event. For that, said Danny, it was mandated to perform Khusuf prayer.
“I appeal to all Muslims in Makassar City to carry out lunar eclipse prayers at each mosque on May 26, 2021 tomorrow,” he told merdeka.com, Tuesday (25/5).
Danny has also issued a letter of appeal addressed to the Makassar Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the mosque management in the city nicknamed Angin Mammiri. He invited Muslims in the city of Makassar to carry out the sunna prayer at the mosque.
Previously it was reported, the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance at the Ministry of Religious Affairs Kamaruddin Amin appealed to Muslims to perform sunnah prayers for the lunar eclipse while still implementing health protocols (prokes). On Wednesday (26/5) there will be a total lunar eclipse or a special qamar.
“Because it is still a pandemic, the eclipse prayers should be held while adhering to the 5M health and discipline protocols: washing hands, wearing masks, maintaining distance, reducing mobility, and avoiding crowds,” he said in a short message, Monday (24/5).
Kamaruddin said, according to the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, Muslims are encouraged to perform the Khusuf prayer, even in the position of a partial lunar eclipse. In addition, Muslims are also encouraged to increase remembrance, prayer, istigfar, repentance, alms, and other good deeds.
“Considering the rising time of the moon in each region, the eclipse prayers can be done in the range after Maghrib prayer until the eclipse is finished according to the time above,” he said.
Just to note, the total lunar eclipse phenomenon will occur at 18:18 WIB, 19.18 WITA, and 20:18 WIT. [yan]
