| Abstract | ||
| Eclipse is a natural phenomenon that happens from time to another based on scientific reasons, it is two types; solar and lunar. Arabs registered this phenomenon and tried to connect it with prophecies related to the society. The subject of this study has been chosen as it deals with a special natural phenomenon that affected the society at that time. Researchers tackled this subject in earlier studies as a kind of registration of the eclipse itself. Therefore, this study proposes to examine the different occurrences of eclipse chronologically and the prophecies based on them during the Mamluk Period in order to analyze and interpret these incidents. | ||
