I ask for the interpretation of this noble verse: [Al-Qamar 54:1]?
The Shaykh : Its interpretation is that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) informs that the Hour has drawn near because Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the last of the prophets, with no prophet after him. And He (Exalted and Majestic is He) informs that the moon split, meaning it split into two halves. The people witnessed it and saw it separate, until they saw it with their own eyes and sight. And the hadiths regarding this are established.
Some people have denied that the moon split and said: "The celestial spheres do not change." But his denial is the denial, because if that is established, then Allah is capable of all things. And Allah the Exalted is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. So if He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, He is capable of separating what has come together and gathering what has been separated.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
