The splitting of the moon is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, Surah Al-Qamar:

“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain. And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision.” Qur’an (54:1-3)

According to Maududi, the traditionists and commentators have agreed that this incident took place at Mina in Makkah about five years before the Holy Prophet’s Hijra (migration) to Madinah.

The Moon had split into two distinct parts in front of their very eyes. The two parts had separated and receded so much apart from each other that to the on-lookers (in Makkah) one part had appeared on one side of the mountain and the other on the other side of it.

Then, in an instant the two had rejoined. This was a manifest proof of the truth that the system of the universe was neither eternal nor immortal, it could be disrupted. SOURCE

That's very interesting. The scariest part about it, is whenever I moon someone, they always tell me that it is split in two RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!!!

You are probably correct. Muhammad must have scored some good stuff that night.
