NASA Photos Prove Splitting of the Moon, Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) Miracle
--The opening verses of the Sura Al-Qamar in the holy Quran talk about the miracle of Shaq-ul-Qamar (the splitting of the moon in two), and new photographs of the moon taken by NASA prove the miracle, said a prominent Islamic scholar.
Speaking at a conference held by the cultural deputy of the Islamic Azad University, Ayatollah Dr Abdulkareem Biazar Shirazi read out the first verse of the Sura Al-Qamar: “The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder” (54:1) and said “This verse is about a miracle performed by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) upon the request of the people of Makkah.
The infidel from the Quraish clan wanted to see a miracle from Mohammad (PBUH) to prove his prophecy. As they did not want to be shown an act of magic rather than a real miracle, they asked that the holy prophet (PBUH) split the moon in two (They believed magic would not work in the sky).
They said to the Prophet (PBUH), “If you are telling the truth, then split the moon for us into two parts, one half over Mt. Abu Qubays, the other over Mt. Quayquan. The Prophet (PBUH) asked them, “If I did so, would you believe?” “Yes, we would,” they replied. It was a night of full moon, and so the prophet (PBUH) asked God to grant him what they requested. That evening the moon did have one half removed and placed over Mt. Abu Abu Qubays, the other being above Mt. Quayquan.
Ayatollah Biazar Shirazi said that there have been some who interpret the first verse of Sura Al-Qamar as referring to future, but it is miracle that actually happened at the time of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
“If you ask a Jew or a Christian what the miracle of their prophet is, they can not show you the Rod of Moses or those whom Jesus brought back from the dead. But the proof that the prophet of Islam (PBUH) performed a miracle is out there. Scientists at NASA have determined that, along with spiral and circular splits, there is a straight split going through the middle of the moon. They believe the split is the result of a meteor impact on the moon, whereas the shape of the split clearly shows that the moon has once been divided in two parts and then the two parts have come together again.
The conference titled “Splitting of the Moon, Miracle of Prophet Mohammad, Based of NASA’s Studies” was held Thursday at the 15th International Quran Exhibition in Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla (Prayer hall).
