Shaqq al-Qamar: Difference between revisions

'''Shaqq al-Qamar''' (Arabic: {{ia|شَقُّ القَمَر}}), or the '''splitting of the moon''', was a [[miracle]] by the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. According to Islamic sources, the Prophet (s) pointed his finger to the moon, and then the moon was split into two parts. The miracle occurred in the early years after [[Bi'tha]]. Some objections have been raised about whether the story is true, and some Muslim scholars have tried to reply to these objections.
