You will have by now a glimpse in the first four facets, of the unending special properties and wonders of the Koran, and the reality of the inability of mankind to imitate it, therefore rely on them. Allah is the granter of success!
The Splitting of the Moon
The Koran narrates the miraculous event of the splitting of the moon of this Allah says, "The Hour is drawing near, and the moon is split (in two). Yet if they see a sign (the unbelievers) turn their backs and say, 'This is but a continuation of sorcery!'" (54:1-2).
The first verse was revealed at the time of the miracle. Masood's son and others shed further light upon this miraculous event saying, "During the time of the Messenger of Allah the moon was split into two. One part was seen above the mountain (Mount Hira) whilst the other was seen below and the Messenger of Allah called upon the people to witness."
Anas said, "The people of Mecca asked the Prophet to show them a sign, whereupon he showed them the splitting of the moon into two and they saw Mount Hira between the two halves."
This miraculous sign was clearly evident despite its objectors. It would not have been hidden from anyone.
