Qouting from the article:

Dr. Najjar continued that at this point a British Muslim young man introduced himself as Daoud Moussa Peetcock head of the British Islamic Party. He carried on saying sir if you allow me I would like to add on this issue? I said please do. He explained saying: At the time when I was searching in religions (before he embraced Islam), a Muslim student gave me as a present the translation of the meaning of Quran. I thanked him and took it home. The first Surat I came across when I opened the book, it was Chapter of the Moon I read "has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder". I said to myself, is this statement logical? Is it possible for the moon to split and then reattach what kind of power may cause this? The man explained that this verse made me reluctant to continue reading. I became busy with my life,yet ALLAH of course Knows how sincere I was about finding the truth.

So,one day ALLAH made me sit to watch TV. It was a talk show between a British commentator and three American astronautics specialists. The show host was blaming the scientists for spending thriftily over space trips at a time when earth is suffering hunger,poverty, diseases and backwardness. He was telling them, it would have been more feasible to allocate this kind of money for reconstruction of earth. To this argument, the three men answered defending their position that such technology is widely applied in many wakes of life such as medicine, industry and agriculture. They added that the money is never wasted but it rather supported the development of highly advanced technology.

During their dialogue, they mentioned the trip in which a man landed on the moon surface as it consumes the the largest cost which comes to more than US $100.000.000.000. The British TV anchor screamed saying what kind of thrift is this? A hundred thousand million dollars just to plant the American flag on the moon surface? They answered no; the objective was not to plant the American flag but rather to study the interior composition of the moon. We actually came to a finding that would cost us double folds of this amount for people to believe and yet they will never believe. The show host inquired what is this fact? They replied: One day this moon was split and then reattached. The show host again probed: how did you realize that? The scientists responded about finding a belt of transformed rocks cutting the moon from its surface to core and then to the surface again. The stated saying: we consulted with earth scientists and geologists who explained that such phenomenon would never occur unless this moon one day split and then reattached.

The British Muslim man said: I jumped out of my chair saying ALLAH (SWT) forced the Americans to spend more than a hundred billion dollars to prove to Muslims a a miracle that took place 1400 years ago for Mohamed (PBUH)? This religion must be the truth. He added: I went back to the Quran and recited Surat Al Qamar, which was my gate for accepting Islam.

Is there a thread on this already?

Their is no evidence to suggest the moon ever split into two.

**zahra** · 07-12-2005

The evidence is in the Holy Qur'aan.

Peace be upon those who follow the true guidance

Funny it is coming from a person with a background who cannot tell with certainty that (1) what was the mother tongue of Jesus? (2) What was the language of the Torah/OT? But ironically he can deny something from Islam and Qur'an.

Well root, where is the proof that suggest or support your claim?

Here is somethings that may augment your knowledge on this subject matter:

Bible Foretold Muhammad’s Miracle!

Al-Isra (The night journey) with proof from Christian sources.

THE SPLITTING OF THE MOON WAS ONE OF THE MIRACLE PERFORMED BY PROPHET MUHAMMAD صلى الله عليه وسلم & A PROPHECY OF THE BIBLE!

Nw let us see how you can prove the above wrong? Or will you issue a statement of denial as usual?

Regards

There is no evidence to suggest I dreamt of pancakes last night, but it still happened.

Please be advised that these are all hoaxes and others like,

Will Smith converted to Islam

Bill Gates converted to Islam

and many more like these. Niel Armstrong never converted to Islam. I personally know the group of few individuals that with corroboration of Christians missionary websites starts and spread these hoaxes and irony of this perjury and hoaxes is that everytime Muslims fell for it.

What is the big deal if some one converted or converts to Islam, by the way? Why it has to be astonishing to us, Muslims, like it was not supposed to happen, but it did some how? Just wondering!

I actually find it kind of funny. But then, I don't usually fall for stuff like this. When I do, I laugh at what an idiot I had been.

Beats me.

With due respect this assertion is fallacious accroding to the Islamic Shariah. Please read the following:

Fasting and Salaat on other Planets!

Why is fasting not observed in Ramadaan at the north & south poles?

I hope insha Allah, this will clears things up.

Jazakallah, brother Preacher

I appreciate the reading material, but I was actually joking.

Please read my original post very carefully since I did not say that Will Smith and Bill Gates converted to Islam. I was very clear when I stated that these are all hoaxes.

Again, these are all hoxes, so please don't distort and twist my words. Perhaps, this may be a game or sarcasm for you. But to me you have just lost your credibility before you even establish it.

**Muezzin** · 07-12-2005

Preacher, your words were indeed very clear. It appeared to me that Brown Clown was joking.

Chill out a bit, bro. No need to take everything seriously, since people often make humorous remarks not meant to be taken seriously. :brother:

**A7med** · 07-12-2005

SORRY i know i just edited it

Ohhh and JAZAKALLAH KHAIR FOR THAT INFORMATION

Well, we will never know who will take this joke as fact or statement of truth, be s/he a Muslimor non-Muslim; after all this is a religious issue.

There is a majority of Muslim who cannot answer this question, needless to say that Christian missionaries often advance this question to corner Muslims (out of their ignorance). I have seen them (Muslims) doing gaga-caca. For such Muslims this kind of joke may be a light at the end of the tunnel. But we both know how absurd it can be, once this word got around.
