Explanation:
1:
The splitting of the moon into two parts occurred during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This miracle manifested at the request of the people of Makkah. It is mentioned in the Sahihayn that the moon split into two parts, to the extent that people saw the Mount Hira between them—one part of the moon was above the mountain and the other below it. This is among the clear miracles of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Its occurrence is established by such mutawatir (mass-transmitted) hadiths that are proven with authentic chains of narration. The majority of scholars affirm this miracle.
