The Moon Splitting

Assalamualaikum.

Al-Qamar
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad SAW to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon).[] (1) And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic." (2) They belied (the Verses of Allâh, this Qur'ân), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled [according to the kind of deeds (good deeds will take their doers to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell)]. (3) And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur'ân) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil), (4) Perfect wisdom (this Qur'ân), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not, 

This is one of the miracles (mukjizat) from the prophet Muhammad (sallahualaihiwasallam(s.a.w)) - The Moon Splitting. This is not a story based on legendary mysthical unreal history, infact, it is a story based on the real history itself.  It took us back to the era of the prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). He is the final messenger of Allah (God) and he is the messenger to all mankind sent by Allah. Before this, in the history of mankind, all the prophets sent by Allah is just the messenger to their own races such as Moses to the children of Israel, and so on. 

Ibrahim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allâh misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (4)

So in other words, all races that exist in this world had already sent to them at least one prophet to guide them to the truth. It is in different story for prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). He is the last prophet sent to the world not only to his tribes of Arabs, indeed he is sent to the whole mankind. To Arab, Persian, Romans, Chinese, Malays and so on.

Al-Anbiya

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (107)

Yet at first the prophet (s.a.w.) himself got a very big job to handle. He has to first spread the words of Allah to his Arabian tribes. And it was a very tough job. Only the poors and slaves that accept his words of truth. The leaders of Arab consistently rejecting him and thus they encourage the people not to follow the prophet. They tortured slaves and poors who were embracing Islam and they did try to kill the prophet. They gave the Muslims a very hard time. They are afraid if the people of Arabia embrace Islam, then their sales of paganic Gods will be vanished and they couldn't regain their power at Makkah. 

Once they want the prophet to show them if he is really the messenger sent by Allah. They asked the prophet (s.a.w) if he can split the moon into two. Then prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) prayed to Allah for help and with Allah will, the moon was split. Watch the video and you can read the story. 

This is one of the mukjizat given to the prophet (s.a.w). Yet the greatest mukjizat given by Allah to prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) is not a mukjizat that could be seen and heard by the people in his time. It is a mukjizat that could be seen throughout the world history until now. It is well cared by Allah the Almighty Himself until the Day of Judgment. It is the Holy Quran. Guidance to all mankind. Given as the mercy by the only one Allah. The only one Holy Book. Never been infiltrated nor written by men. A great mukjizat, to success in this world and hereafter. ONLY US TO FOLLOW IT OR NOT. 

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. And Muhammad (s.a.w.) is the Messenger of Allah.
