00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.439
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:12.880
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:20.859
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:00:20.859 --> 00:00:24.530
The splitting of the moon.

00:00:24.530 --> 00:00:26.879
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.719
This is a matter upon which the scholars are in agreement.

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.

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.659
And that it was one of the manifest miracles.

00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.460
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections:

00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:47.219
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

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.

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.

00:00:59.859 --> 00:01:02.579
The two Shaykhs also narrated in their Sahih collections:

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:06.579
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:12.739
The moon split while we were with the Prophet, peace be upon him, at Mina.

00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:15.140
He said, "Bear witness."

00:01:15.140 --> 00:01:18.159
And a portion of it moved toward the mountain.

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.400
Al-Hafiz (Ibn Hajar) said in Al-Fath:

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.079
This does not contradict the statement of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.799
That this took place in Makkah.

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.

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.480
And even if he had explicitly stated it, Mina is considered part of Makkah.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.819
Therefore, there is no contradiction.

00:01:40.819 --> 00:01:44.739
Al-Tayalisi narrated in his Musnad with an authentic chain of transmission:

00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:48.819
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:54.019
The moon split during the era of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:01:54.019 --> 00:01:55.939
So the Quraysh said:

00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:58.959
"This is the sorcery of the son of Abu Kabshah."

00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:03.519
And they said, "Wait for what the travelers bring you."

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.159
"For Muhammad cannot bewitch all the people."

00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.639
He said: Then the travelers arrived and confirmed it.

00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.319
And Allah revealed regarding this His saying:

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.439
“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.” (54:1)

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:29.870
"And if they see a sign, they turn away and say, 'Continuing magic.'"

00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:32.509

00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.250

00:02:43.889 --> 00:02:46.909
In the Kingdom of Bahrain.

00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:53.949
How the longing of the worlds intensifies for one another;

00:02:53.949 --> 00:03:00.960
Yet the longing for you, its extent cannot be encompassed.

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,

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:15.520
And as long as lips move in remembrance.
