Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

Exploring the Moon is identified with the slogan: "One small
step for man; one giant leap for mankind." This historic moment in
space research was documented by cameras, and everyone from
that time to this has witnessed it. As Surat al-Qamar 54:1 states, this
great event may be a sign of the Last Day, which would mean that
we are living during the End Times. (God surely knows best.)
Another very important sign is that the numeration (abjad) of a
certain part of Surat al-Qamar 54:1 by alphabetical Arabic letters is
1969, the year when American astronauts set foot on the moon. (For
detailed information on this numeration technique, refer to the sec-
tion "The Time of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming.")
... The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split. (Surat ar-
Rahman, 54:1)
Hijri (Islamic): 1390, Gregorian (Christian): 1969
We also need to mention that "the splitting of the moon" is one
of the miracles that God granted to our Prophet (may God bless him
and grant him peace). One hadith relates this miracle, as follows:
... This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of
Abdullah b. Mas`ud [who said]: We were along with God's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) at Mina, when the moon
was split in two. One of its parts was behind the mountain,
and the other one was on this side of the mountain. (Sahih
Muslim)
This is the miracle heralded in the verse. However, as the
Qur'an is applicable to all times, we can assume that this verse also
draws our attention to the exploration of the Moon. (God knows
best.)
