stones and soil. It is surely very interesting that these developments
are in complete agreement with the statements in the verse.

Along with this, also in October 2009, there has been a devel-
opment which points out to this event mentioned in the verse.
NASA, who has been carrying on searches on the Moon for finding
water, bombed the Moon and with the effect of this strike, a dust
cloud weighing 350 tons formed. That means, the surface of the
Moon split for another time. As Allah reveals in the Qur'an, the

Moon is split when the time of the "Hour," the coming of the Prophet
Jesus (as), the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as), the appearance of
Dabbat al-Ardh approached. As is seen, this verse refers to these
events besides the miracle of the splitting of the Moon, vouchsafed

by Allah to our Prophet (saas).
Finally, let us point out that there is a very important warning
following these verses. There is a reminder that these signs sent
from the Sight of Allah are important opportunities for people to
turn from error, and that those who do not heed these warnings will
be disappointed when they will be brought back to life on that Day

of Judgment which is described in the Qur'an as “something un-
speakably terrible”:
The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split. If they see
a Sign they turn away, saying “There is no end to this witch-
craft!” They have denied the truth and followed their whims
and desires, but everything has its time. News has come to
them which contains a threat: consummate wisdom – but
warnings are profitless. Turn away from them then. On the
Day the Summoner summons them to something unspeak-
ably terrible, they will emerge from their graves with down-
cast eyes, like swarming locusts, necks outstretched, eyes
transfixed, rushing headlong to the Summoner. The unbe-
lievers will say, “This is a pitiless day!” (Surat al-Qamar: 1-8)
