Peace Root,
I specifically posted the image to clarify the undertsanding of the miracle as it seemed like there was some confusion. By "scripture" I assume you are referring to the quote you cited in your post just before mine. That quote was part of a larger article, so to explain the quote, I pasted the entire article which should clear confusion that it was not simply a matter half of the moon being invisible due to a mountain. It was a miraculous split, which was viewed by all people after the Prophet saws performed the miracle by God's command. Perhaps we could argue that the article did not explain this clearly enough.

I have read an interesting analysis of the miracle by a Muslim astronomer, who takes a slightly different interpretation of the event, which I shall post later, God willing.

peace
