Just did a web search on Islamic moon splitting. It apparently refers to Muhammad pointing his finger to the moon and literally splitting it in half.

I have no idea how any normal astronomy event (lunar eclipses, etc.) can be interpreted as a "split moon". Perhaps they have a prophecy where the moon will be literally split again. I believe that Revelation says that a great earthquake will split a city in thirds so whoever wrote this was borrowing from both the Koran and Revelation prophecy.
