A solar eclipse has special significance–or perhaps insignificance is a better word–in Islam. On the day the Prophet Muhammad’s infant son, Ibrahim, died of childhood illness, an eclipse covered the Arabian peninsula. The Prophet’s followers assumed that the two must be connected; that the sun itself had gone into hiding to mark the death of such a blessed child. But the Prophet, in his grief, told them something profound: no. “The sun and moon are but two signs amongst the signs of God. They do not eclipse because of someone’s death or life.” Not even the son of a prophet. The profundity of this has always struck me. Of course, such a statement is unremarkable in a secular mindset–we know, from a scientific standpoint, that eclipses occur at regular, calculable intervals–but in a religious one, the implications are immense. How tempting to assume that the order of the stars themselves are somehow connected to our own joy and grief. And how profound to say, in a state of grief: no. God will not move the stars for you, or for me, or for anyone. The stars are the stars and we are very small. But we must kneel in any case.

And I saw under the judging table the souls of them that baked: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, dost thou not judge and avenge the sweat of our brow on them that write the technical challenges?

this is legitimately the best linguistics article that has been published all year, in academic and scholarly presses.

Never the end.
