SPLITTING OF THE
MOON
SURA 54, THE FULFILLMENT OF TWO GREAT PROPHESIES
 Sura 54 is entitled, "The Moon"
and starts right away by giving us the news about the splitting of the moon as a sign of the end of the world. It is interesting
to know that
of all the available translations of the Quran , it was only Dr. Khalifa's
translation that
pointed to the fulfillment of this prophecy and pointed exactly to the
mathematical
miracle of the Quran and its relation to the splitting of the moon.
Let us focus on verse
[54:1]: “The
moon has split and the hour has drawn closer”
Here is Dr.Khalifa’s footnote on the verse is very interesting and
enlightening: “ This
important sign of the approaching end of the world came to pass in 1969 when
humans landed on the moon and brought pieces of the moon to earth. At the same time,
God’s mathematical Miracle was being gradually unveiled. Traditional Muslims opposed
it, since it exposed the fallacy of their practices.”
It is also important to remind the reader of the fact that the word "Al-Qamar"
which means
"THE Moon" that is used in 54:1 is the 19th
"Al-Qamar" in the whole Quran (out of 26
occurrences). This links this incidence immediatley to the 19 based mathematical
miracle of the
Quran. Notice that the 27th occurrece of the the word "moon" talk
about "a moon ", not
"THE moon".
Earthrise over the lunar horizon
On July 20, 1969, after a four day trip, the Apollo astronauts arrived
at the Moon.
When did the first prophecy come to
pass?
To answer that, one must keep the prophecy in mind: “The moon has
split.” This is
a metaphor. Parts of the moon have left its surface. They no longer are part
of the moon.
So, the prophecy does not refer to the landing on the moon or to the first
step made by Neil Armstrong but to the fact that Armstrong and Aldrin collected 21 kilograms
of lunar rocks to bring them back to earth. The prophecy was fulfilled at the very
moment the Astronauts left the moon in the lunar module containing 21 kilograms of rocks
that had belonged to the moon.

pilot Michael Collins, Lunar Module pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.

This prophecy has come to pass on July 21 1969. Let us write those numbers
down in the format
used by almost all countries : 21 / 07 /1969.
We get 21071969 and 21071969 = 19 x 1109051
It is interesting to note that the american date of landing is coded.
The lunar module landed
on July 20 : 7 / 20 1969.
Indeed : 7201969 = 379051 X 19.
What about the time of
departure?
The moment of the fulfillment
is confirmed by the hour of departure. The Lunar Module left the lunar surface at
17:
54: 1 (Universal Time) or
1: 54: 1 (EDT)
and as you have seen it above, verse
[54:1] is the verse that deals with the
prophesy.
So, the prophecy described in verse [54:1] was
fulfilled on 21 July 1969 at 17: 54: 1 (Universal Time) (1:
54: 1 EDT) when the lunar
module left the moon carrying 21 kilograms of lunar rocks.
Let us add the Sura number (54), the verse number (1), the day (21), the
month (07) and the year (1969); we get:
54 + 1 + 21 + 7 +1969 = 2052 or 19 x 108.
There are 4845 verses, from the beginning of the Qu’ran to verse [54:1]
and
4845 = 19 x 255.
So, nobody can deny that verse [54:1] refers to the fact that Neil Armstrong
and Aldrin left the moon with parts of the moon.
Now, let us read verse [54:1], verses [54:2, 3] and Dr. Khalifa’s
footnote.
[54:1]: “The moon has split and the hour has
drawn closer”
[54:2] “Then they saw a great miracle; but
they turned away and said, “Old magic.”
[54:3] They
disbelieved, followed
their opinions, and adhered to their old
traditions
Footnote: “ This important
sign of the approaching end of the world came to pass in 1969 when humans landed on the moon and brought pieces of the moon to earth. At
the same time, God’s mathematical Miracle was being gradually unveiled. Traditional
Muslims opposed it, since it exposed the fallacy of their practices.”
As Khalifa makes it quite clear, verse [54: 2, 3] refers to the discovery
of the mathematical miracle and the great news it brought: The Qu’ran is the true word of
God for the mathematical code it contains is far beyond human capabilities and the
Qu’ran should be the
ONLY source of religious law. Hadiths and Sunnah books have nothing to do
with Islam; they are lies attributed to the Prophet and are in complete contradiction
with the Qu’ran.
"This Quran could not possibly be authored by other
than God. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture.
It is infallible; for it comes from the Lord of the universe." 10:37
"Shall I seek other than God as a source of law,
when He has revealed this book fully detailed? Those who received the Scripture recognize
that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt."
6:114
Khalifa’s translation of verses [54:2, 3] is the true translation. It
is proven by the fact that verse [54:1] deals with a prophecy fulfilled in 1969 and the unveiling of
the mathematical as well as the arrival of the true Islam occurred after 1969. But traditionalists
turned away from the miracle after first accepting it when they understood that accepting
meant rejecting their
traditions.
The other translations of verses [54:2, 3] cannot stand the evidence presented
here.
Everything happens in accordance with God’s plan and verses [54:1, 2,
3] should strengthen our faith and our position against those who cannot accept the
words of God in the Quran as complete, perfect and fully detailed. Instead they find
in the fabrications found in the Hadith and Sunna books another religions than the true Islam
(Submission).
The rest of the Sura shows how God considers traditionalists, those who follow
Hadiths and Sunnah or reject the warnings:
Hadith books and the non-sense stories of
the splitting of the moon: Click

As many other lies in the Hadith and sunna books, the writers of
these books, after reading sura 54, claimed that Muhammed had a great
miracle, splitting of the moon. They had been trying hard to make a
miracle for Muhammed, unaware of the great miracle of the Quran. They even
claimed that half the moon fell behind the mountain in Mecca after Muhammed
split it. Still ,with this non-sense, some well-educated followers
of Hadiths and Sunna repeat this non-sense. Quran proved also that this
splitting of the moon has nothing to do with Muhammed. Quran in at least
two suras informs us that the disbelievers at Muhammed time wondered why
Muhammed had no miracle to show them. These two suras were revealed
after the sura that talked about splitting of the moon, sura 54. In both
sura 10 and 29, God informs us that Muhammed had no miracle to show the
disbelievers then, and this was after the revelation of sura 54 that talked
about the splitting of the moon.
[ 10:20] They say, "How come no miracle came down to him from his Lord?"
Say, "The future belongs to GOD; so wait, and I am waiting along with you."
[29:50] They said, "If only miracles could come down to him from his Lord!"
Say, "All miracles come only from GOD; I am no more than a manifest warner."
If we study the order of revelations of these suras we will find the following;
| Sura |
Order of Revelation |
| 54 |
37 |
| 10 |
51 |
| 29 |
85 |
Now and after this explicit Quranic evidence, you will find those who cannot
get rid of their idol-worship and still insist that Muhammed split the
moon and part or half of it fell in the backyard of Ali's house. To these
we do not have to say anything, God already did.

[54:1]: “The moon
has split and the hour has drawn closer”
[54:2] Then they saw a miracle; but they turned away and said, "Old magic."
[54:3]
They disbelieved,
followed their opinions, and adhered
to their old traditions
[54:4] Sufficient warnings have been delivered
to alert them.
[54:5] Great wisdom; but all the warnings have
been in vain.
[54:6] Ignore them; the day will come when the
caller will announce a terrible disaster.
[54:7] With their eyes humiliated, they come out of the graves like scattered
locusts.
[54:8] As they respond to the caller, the disbelievers will say, "This is
a difficult day."
[54:9] The people of Noah disbelieved before them.
They disbelieved our servant and
said, "Crazy!" He was persecuted.
[54:10] He implored his Lord, "I am oppressed; grant me victory."
[54:11] We then opened the gates of the sky, pouring water.
[54:12. And we caused springs to gush out of the earth. The waters met to
effect a
predetermined decision.
[...]
[54:16] How terrible was My retribution after the
warnings!
[54:17] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of
you wish to learn?
[54:18] `Ad disbelieved. Consequently, how terrible
was My retribution after the warnings.
[54:19] We sent upon them violent winds, on a day of continuous misery.
[54:20] It tossed the people around as if they were decayed palm tree
trunks.
[54:21] How terrible was My retribution after the warnings!
[54:22] We made the Quran easy to
learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:23] Thamud rejected
the warnings.
[54:24] They said, "Shall we follow one of us; a human being? We will then
go astray,
then end up in Hell.
[54:25] "Did the message come down to him, instead of us? He is a flagrant
liar."
[54:26] They will find out tomorrow who the flagrant liar is.
[...]
[54:30] Consequently, how terrible was My retribution!
They have been warned.
[54:31] We sent upon them one blow, whereupon they became like harvested
hay.
[54:32] We made the Quran
easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:33] The people of
Lot rejected the warnings.
[...]
[54:36]
He warned them about our requital, but
they ridiculed the warnings.
[54:37) They negotiated with him about his guests;
we blinded them. Suffer My
retribution; you have been warned.
[54:38] Early the next morning, a devastating retribution struck them.
[54:39] Suffer My
retribution; you have been warned.
[54:40] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:41] Pharaoh's people
were warned.
[54:42] They rejected all our signs. Consequently, we requited them as an
Almighty,
Omnipotent should.
[54:43] ARE YOUR DISBELIEVERS
BETTER THAN THOSE DISBELIEVERS?
HAVE YOU BEEN ABSOLVED BY THE SCRIPTURE?
[54:44] Perhaps they think, "We will be the winners."
[54:45] All of them will be defeated; they will turn around and flee.
[54:46] The Hour is awaiting them, and the Hour is far worse and more
painful.
[54:47] Certainly, the
guilty are astray, and will end up in Hell.
[54:48] They will be dragged into the hellfire, forcibly. Suffer the agony
of retribution.
[54:49] Everything we created is precisely measured.
[54:50] Our commands are done within the blink of an eye.
[54:51] We annihilated your
counterparts. Does any of you wish to
learn?
[...]
[54:54] Surely, the righteous have deserved gardens and rivers.
[54:55] In a position of honor, at an Omnipotent King.
As you can see, the traditionalists who reject the mathematical miracle,
uphold
Hadiths and Sunnah and commit idol-worship in numerous ways are just like
the
people of Noah, [54:9], the people of `Ad [54:18], the people of Thamud [54:23],
the people of Lot [54:33], the people of Pharaoh [54:41]. They are NO different.
The people who reject God’s warnings are severely punished as it is
described by
God in Sura 54. Traditionalists will end up in hell just like the others
[54:47] for they reject the warnings just like the others [54:3, 4, 5, 16,
18, 21, 23,
30, 33, 36, 37, 39, 41]. People who turn to the true Islam are blessed by
God.
They make a very important decision that will ensure their happiness now
and forever.
Those Submitters should read Sura 54, as well as the rest of the Qu’ran,
carefully
and obey God’s commandments:
[54:6]
Ignore them.
Praying with traditionalists or practicing our religion with them is
disobeying God.
God tells you to ignore them.
Now let us look at one of the most important verses of Sura 54:
[54:43] ARE YOUR DISBELIEVERS
BETTER THAN THOSE DISBELIEVERS?
HAVE YOU BEEN ABSOLVED BY THE SCRIPTURE?
God is asking you a question. Are today's traditionalists better than the
people of Noah,
[54:9], the people of `Ad [54:18], the people of Thamud [54:23], the people
of Lot
[54:33], the people of Pharaoh [54:41]? To God, they are no different.
It is not
because they follow the same SCRIPTURE that they are BETTER than the other
DISBELIEVERS. God is directly addressing the Submitters who still think that
they are
closer to today's so-called "Muslims." than other disbelievers. They must
know that
they now have new brothers and sisters who devote their religion absolutely
to God
ALONE and that a day will come when they will find in every corner of this
earth a
Mosque devoted to God ONLY. Until then their homes where Only God is worshipped
is better than any of these traditionalists' mosques. See 9:107-108
[9:107] There are those who abuse the masjid by practicing idol worship,
dividing the believers, and providing comfort to those who oppose GOD and
His messenger. They solemnly swear: "Our intentions are honorable!" GOD bears
witness that they are liars.
Do Not Pray in Those Masjids
[9:108] You shall
never pray in such a masjid.
A masjid that is established on the basis of righteousness from the first
day is more worthy of your praying therein. In it, there are people who love
to be purified. GOD loves those who purify themselves.
Praise be to God.

God Almighty described His Mathematical Miracle of the Quran as one of
the great miracles, swearing by the moon and by the night and day, see
74:35. Like all the miracles of God , it is intended for the
sincere believers, those who seek Him ALONE and do not hesitate to worship
Him ALONE. Miracles of God were never meant to convince the disbelievers
or insincere people to change their minds. Since God 's rule is clearly
stated "There shall be no compulsion in
religion" 2:256 , the miracles were reserved
ONLY for those who already committed
themselves to worshipping God ALONE. The others do not see or appreciate
any aspect of the miracle. They did not deserve it according to God.
See Pharoah's example in the Quran.
[7:146]
I will divert from My revelations those who
are arrogant
on earth, without justification. Consequently, when they
see every kind of proof they will not believe. And when
they see the path of guidance they will not adopt it as
their path, but when they see the path of straying they
will adopt it as their path. This is the consequence of
their rejecting our proofs, and being totally heedless
thereof. |

________________________________
Hadith books and the
non-sense stories of the spliting of the moon:
The Muslims scholars and those who collected the Hadiths books, unaware of
the greatness of the Quran and its miracles tried to create a miracle for
the prophet Muhammed by claiming that he split the moon. Not only did they
show their lack of understanding of the Quran but they also showed their
mistrust of God, the author of the Quran , who told us that Muhammed had
no other miracle but the Quran.
[29:50] They said, "If only miracles could come down to him (Muhammed)
from his Lord!" Say, "All miracles come only from GOD; I am no more than
a manifest warner."
God insisted on exposing them. In making such a lie, they expressed what
they thought would be a good story by claiming that the moon split and part
of it fell on or behind the mountain while another part fell in front of
the mountain. At the time of making such a lie the people were unaware of
the size of the moon or the meaning of a part of it falling from the sky
and into the desert infront of them. Such lies that fill the Hadith books
are only extra signs for the sincere believers who realize that the ONLY
acceptable Hadith is the Quran.
[45:6 ] "These are God's revelations that we recite to you truthfully.
In which HADITH other than God and His revelations
do they believe?"
Here is some of the Hadiths that talk about splitting of the moon and give
one of the biggest lies in the Hadiths books. (Compare these lies with the
clear presentation of the Quran that is registered by NASA officially and
for generations to come.)
Sahih Moslem, Book 039, Number 6725:
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud (who
said): We were along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) at Mina,
that moon was split up into two. One of its parts was behind the mountain
and the other one was on this side of the mountain. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said to us: Bear witness to this.
Sahih Moslem, Book 039, Number 6726:
'Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that the moon was split up in two parts during
the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). The mountain covered
one of its parts and one part of it was above the mountain and Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) said: Bear witness to this.
Sahih Bukhary, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 387:
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."
