THE SOLID OPINION REGARDING THE SPLITTING OF THEMOON

القول المستقر في انشقاق القمر

Abstract

This study explores the miracle of the splitting of the moon that Allah
performed to support the best of His messengers, Muhammad(PBUH)
against his opponents. It is confirmed by the book of Allah, the Sunnah of
the prophet(PBUH) and the consensus of the ummah. To deny it is to
submit and accept materialistic thought and man-made philosophies. For
the Muslim who believes in Allah Almighty and in the unseen, there is
nothing repugnant in accepting the authentic traditions regarding the
miracles of the senses. In light of the magnanimity of this miracle, Allah
warranted it by mentioning it in the best of His books which is a
permanent miracle in of itself. Also numerous of the righteous
companions have explained how the splitting took place
