I've looked over this article, and it still needs significant work to meet the good article criteria.


 * The article fails criterion 1b because it does not comply with the guidance at MOS:LEAD. The only purpose the lead should serve is to summarize the rest of the article.
 * The article fails criterion 2b as many claims are unreferenced, including critical ones like the date and many of the statistics.
 * The article likely fails criterion 3a, as there is little information in the article and there appear to be other sources about this subject. I suggest looking at the sources that turn up in Google Scholar or using the Wikipedia Library to find other high quality sources.
 * The article fails criterion 3b, as much of the article is not about Muhammad's eclipse. The article does not need an explanation of what a solar eclipse is, nor does it need a list of other solar eclipses that are not the subject of the article.
 * One other note, it may need clarification about where the information on this eclipse is coming from. The article says the only information is from Islamic sources, but NASA has information on it.

I have not done a close reading of the prose or checked individual references, so I cannot say whether these meet the criteria. If you'd like further assistance to improve the article, you can put in a request at peer review, or you can ask more specific questions at the teahouse. Thank you for the work you've done so far!
