Full moon 10/28/04.
and the "New Moon" M'Dear?
In addition to the full moon on the 28th, there's also going to be a total eclipse of the moon on October 27-28. This celestial lineup of the sun, earth, and moon all in a row has got to have some major significance to them.
Apparently in Islam during an eclipse there's a special prayer observed. The eclipse prayer consists of two rak'at. Each rak'at has two standings (qlyam), two recitations from the Quran, two bowings (ruku'), and two prostrations (sujud). One performs two bowings instead of the customary one.
Two bows anyone???
Also, during a lunar eclipse is when the full moon can turn orangey or even blood red in color - if nothing else, definitely setting the mood for Halloween.
