THE HOLY
QUR’AN
THE DATE OF THE
LUNAR LANDINGS
8. The word “Qamar” means
“Moon,” and the word “Moon”
appears in the first verse of Surat
al-Qamar.
There are 1390 verses
from that verse to the
end of the Qur’an.
THE DATE OF THE LUNAR LANDING
9. The year 1390 in the Islamic
calendar corresponds to 1969
AD, the date of the lunar
landings.
This, one of the greatest landmarks in
human history, was indicated 14
centuries beforehand. (Allah knows the
truth.)

10. In addition, the word “inshakka,” meaning
“split,” is used in this verse.
The word is derived from the root “shakka,”
meaning “to plow, dig up, to turn the soil...” In
the same way, the Apollo 11 spacecraft that went
to the Moon also took specimens of lunar dust
back to Earth.
In that sense, the term “the Moon has split” is
consistent with developments in the present day.

13. A number of calculations can be made from
this basis.
These are referred to as numerological
(abjad) calculations or "hisab al-jumal."239
Muslims who took advantage of the fact that
every letter of the alphabet represents a
number have used this in a number of fields.
Ilm'ul Jafr is one of these.
THE DATE OF THE LUNAR LANDING
27. The Hour [has drawn near] and the
moon has split.
Hijri: 1390, Gregorian: 1969
In 1969, American astronauts carried out
research on the Moon, dug the soil up
with various pieces of equipment, split it
and carried specimens back to Earth.
THE DATE OF THE LUNAR LANDING
28. We must, however, make it clear that the splitting of
the Moon is of course one of the miracles given to
our Prophet (saas) by Allah.
This miracle is revealed thus in a hadith:
The people of Mecca asked Allah's Apostle to show
them a miracle.
So he showed them the moon split in two halves
between which they saw the Hiram' mountain. (Sahih
Bukhari)
THE DATE OF THE LUNAR LANDING
29. The above miracle is the splitting of the
Moon revealed in the verse.
However, since the Qur'an is a Book that
addresses all times, one may think of
this verse as referring to the exploration
of the Moon in our own day. (Allah knows
best.)
