Differences in the sighting of the moon

· 9 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) split the moon. Why now is the moon splitting us? Is it a warning from Allah or is it that such splits are a normal part of our deen?

Answer

The moon has not split us. We have split ourselves.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
