00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,439
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:12,880
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,859
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

4
00:00:20,859 --> 00:00:24,530
The splitting of the moon.

5
00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:26,879
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

6
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:30,719
This is a matter upon which the scholars are in agreement.

7
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:36,719
That the splitting of the moon occurred during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

8
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:40,659
And that it was one of the manifest miracles.

9
00:00:40,659 --> 00:00:43,460
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections:

10
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:47,219
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

11
00:00:47,219 --> 00:00:53,890
The people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to show them a sign.

12
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:59,780
So he showed them the moon split into two parts, until they saw the mountain of Hira between them.

13
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:02,579
The two Shaykhs also narrated in their Sahih collections:

14
00:01:02,579 --> 00:01:06,579
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

15
00:01:06,579 --> 00:01:12,739
The moon split while we were with the Prophet, peace be upon him, at Mina.

16
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:15,140
He said, "Bear witness."

17
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:18,159
And a portion of it moved toward the mountain.

18
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,400
Al-Hafiz (Ibn Hajar) said in Al-Fath:

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,079
This does not contradict the statement of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

20
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:26,799
That this took place in Makkah.

21
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:33,840
Because he did not explicitly state that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was in Makkah on that night.

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,480
And even if he had explicitly stated it, Mina is considered part of Makkah.

23
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,819
Therefore, there is no contradiction.

24
00:01:40,819 --> 00:01:44,739
Al-Tayalisi narrated in his Musnad with an authentic chain of transmission:

25
00:01:44,739 --> 00:01:48,819
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

26
00:01:48,819 --> 00:01:54,019
The moon split during the era of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

27
00:01:54,019 --> 00:01:55,939
So the Quraysh said:

28
00:01:55,939 --> 00:01:58,959
"This is the sorcery of the son of Abu Kabshah."

29
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:03,519
And they said, "Wait for what the travelers bring you."

30
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:08,159
"For Muhammad cannot bewitch all the people."

31
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:12,639
He said: Then the travelers arrived and confirmed it.

32
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,319
And Allah revealed regarding this His saying:

33
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:21,439
“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.” (54:1)

34
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:29,870
"And if they see a sign, they turn away and say, 'Continuing magic.'"

35
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:32,509
A Summary

36
00:02:32,509 --> 00:02:35,250
Of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:40,110
Authored by Shaykh Musa bin Rashid al-Azimi.

00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:43,889
With an introduction by the Mawaddah Association.

00:02:43,889 --> 00:02:46,909
In the Kingdom of Bahrain.

40
00:02:47,069 --> 00:02:53,949
How the longing of the worlds intensifies for one another;

41
00:02:53,949 --> 00:03:00,960
Yet the longing for you, its extent cannot be encompassed.

42
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:07,580
May the blessings of Allah be upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

43
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:15,520
And as long as lips move in remembrance.
