This rare khutbah was given in the evening during the lunar eclipse of September 27, 2015, in which Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi discusses:

-The emotions of the Prophet during the birth and death of his son, Ibrahim
-A full solar eclipse took place and coincided with the loss of Ibrahim
-Rumors spread that even the skies are sad at the death of Ibrahim, the Prophet's son
-The prophet (s) lead the sahaba in a prolonged salah, for the duration of the eclipse
-Then he gave a khutbah, in which he proclaimed:
"The son and the moon are of the miracles/creation of Allah, their eclipse is independent of the life and death of anybody on this earth. So when this happens, pray, say takbir and give charity until the eclipse goes away "
-Any false prophet would have used this to his advantage, but not Muhammad (s)
-A fear for such natural events is normal, but these acts of worship clear sins and remove the anger of Allah
-The prophet (s) took steps forward and backward during the prayer because he was shown Jannah (paradise) and Jahannam (hellfire) during the prayer. He then explained:
"If you know what I know, you would laugh very little and cry a lot"
-At this the entire audience broke down sobbing
-Salat al Qusoof is for solar eclispse and Khusoof is for lunar eclipse
-The purpose of these beautiful creations is mentioned in Surah Ale Imran, "Our lord, you haven't created all of this for nothing..." rather so that we may contemplate and come closer to Allah and that Allah is true, His signs are true, the day of judgement is true and that life and death are true.
