Question regarding the moon
« on: June 23, 2017, 05:40:32 PM »
I think we all know the story of the moon split, but i have a question regarding that.

The quran says: "The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]. And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

Is the above about muhammad when he split the moon? Or is it a future evet to take place.
 Because if it is about muhammad, it says: "the hour has come near" nut it was 1400 years ago and the hour hasnt come yet.

Can someone answer and explain

Jazakallah khair

Assalam alaikum

Does the Ayah refer to the fact that the moon will split before the destruction of the world ?

Ali Unal's commentary - Surah Qamar 54:1:

"Some modern commentators claim that the verse refers to the fact that the moon will split before the destruction of the world.

    However, the second verse rejects this assertion. The signs to appear before the destruction of the world will decisively prove that the Last Hour has come and this is the time when the world will be destroyed.

    But the second verse clearly says that the unbelievers reacted to the splitting of the moon by claiming that it was sorcery, and they showed the same reaction to many similar signs.

    Hasan al-Basri and 'Ata' ibn ar-Rabah, who asserted that the moon would split before the destruction of the world, did not deny the occurrence of this miracle as evidence of the Prophethood of Muhammad, in Makkah."
