Rima Ariadaeus, one of many rilles on the surface of the Moon, has been claimed on Internet forums to be evidence of the splitting of the Moon. [20] [21] She saw Abdul Muttalib with an infant in his arms and took pity on the child who had been rejected by the other women. This establishes that this was nothing more than an honest mistake on Dr. Morey’s part and wasn’t trying to be deliberately malicious, since he obviously had no intention of making stuff up or fabricating stories about Muhammad. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was sent as a mercy for the people as he led people out of ignorance and set an ideal example that would last till the end of times. He not only had the ideal character but set practical examples of Islam which also made him the best teacher for mankind. Islam and people flourished when people followed the life of the Prophet (PBUH) but Islamic history fell into a deep pit of humiliation when people abandoned His teachings. In this day and age once again we have strayed away from the teachings of Islam and this era too demands us to follow the Seerah and teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

All people of truth and sainthood, as well as of inspiration and spiritual discovery, testify that this event took place. All foremost theologians and learned scholars confirm this event, despite other differences of opinions. When the Meccans asked Muhammad to do a miracle to prove that he was Allah’s prophet, he supposedly reached up with his sword and cut the moon in half. What can be a better read than the Prophet’s (PBUH) biography? The Holy Prophet (PBUH) is one of the greatest gifts from Allah Almighty for the entire Universe. Allah has called the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) His blessing for the people. He said in the Holy Quran: Seyyed Hossein Nasr, ed. (2017). "The Moon, al-Qamar". The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary. One day the pagans were assembled at the Ka‘bah and sent for the Prophet. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) hurried to meet them, thinking that they wished to discuss the possibility of entering Islam. He sat down with them to hear the same demands they had made before: “Muhammad, you tell us that the prophets had signs: Musa [Moses] had a miraculous staff, Saleh had a camel, and Isa [Jesus] resurrected the dead. The prophets of yore came with clear signs. We want you to also show us something to confirm that you are like them.”

When the Moon Split’ is a beautiful yet accessible account of the life and times of our beloved Prophet Muhammad صلی الله علیه وآلهِ وسلم in which you will learn about how he got chosen by Allaah, how he responded to the call and how he spread the message of Islam throughout the world while facing all the challenges and hardships along the way. This article is about an Islamic theological issue. For theories of formation of the Moon which involve fragments, see Origin of the Moon §Accretion. The Arab Pagans such as Walid bin Mughira, Abu Jahl, Answer bin Wail, As bin Hisham, Aswad bin Abdi Yaghus, Aswad bin Muttalib, Zama bin Aswad, Nadr bin Harith, and others thereby asked the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W to show a miracle so that they could believe that Prophet Muhammad S.A.W is the last prophet of Allah. Narrated Ibn Masud: During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle the moon was split into two parts; one part remained over the mountain, and the other part went beyond the mountain. On that, Allah's Apostle said, "Witness this miracle."( Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 387)

Hartung recognized that the probability was “extremely small,” since there was only one chance in a thousand that such a great impact would have occurred throughout the recorded history of mankind. However, his theory received an accolade two years later from astronomers Odile Calame and John Derral Mulholland, who analysed new images collected by the Soviet probe Luna 24 to conclude that, although their study could not prove Hartung’s interpretation, at least the data were “consistent with the hypothesis.”All truthful narrators and scholars of Hadith narrated this incident through various authentic channels of transmission. These people were traders by nature and although they were well versed in the art of trade, they held no distinction between halal and haram. They knew how to fulfil a promise, but they had forgotten the promise of Allah. Oppression was common. Among all evils, their kind deeds were also astray. They were generous but their generosity did not align with the word of Allah. Some women from Banu Sa‘d bin Bakr bin Hawazen came to Makkah to offer their services to local families. From childhood, Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was exceptionally intelligent and chaste and was highly regarded for his honesty, valor, justice, piety, patience, modesty, loyalty and hospitality. Abu Talib described his beloved nephew in the following words:

Reading this book in its entirety during the month of Ramadan has just renewed my profound love I have for my Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and the Ummah. Extract 01: Take a look at this extract on the character of Muhammad (PBUH) and his personality before prophethood.Narrated Anas bin Malik: The people of Mecca asked Allah's Apostle to show them a miracle. So HE SHOWED THEM the moon split in two halves between which they saw the Hiram' mountain. ( Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 208) We all know He had 4 daughters and 3 sons, He got Prophethood at the age of 40, He performed 4 umrahs and 1 hajj in his life, he got married to Khadijah R.A at the age of 25. He left this world when He turned to 63. His most beloved wife was Ayesha R.A. He is the Khatam-un-nabiyeen, people called him by the names of Al-Sadiq, Al-Amin (The Honest, The Trustworthy). We all know these things right? Abdul Muttalib asked each of them to take his grandson Muhammad |g, but all of them declined the offer when they were told the child’s father was dead.
