If it is true then why we have not got yet any proof from authentic  scientific source because many of sign of Qur\u2019an have been proved by  science that it is true such like Bigbang theory. Movement of moon and  act. <\/div>\n<div>2. Is it part of true <em>h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em>  that prophet (sws) said to Hazrat \u2018Umar: When angel comes into your  grave and asks question to you about your creator then you will explain  that Allah is your Lord and cross-question him and ask \u201cwho is your  Lord?\u201d Is it possible that an angel who is assigned work by Allah is  cross-questioned? <\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>1.  Verse 54:1 has been interpreted in two ways: &#8220;the prophet caused the  moon to be split as a miracle&#8221; or that &#8220;moon will be split near the end  of the world&#8221;. <\/p>\n<div>My  current understanding is that the first interpretation is much closer  to the context and the literal meaning of the verse. There are also a  number of <em>Ahadith<\/em> supporting this interpretation. <\/div>\n<div>As  for why scientific facts do not prove this (while it might be proved in  future) it needs to be appreciated that this was a miracle and as such  it does not need to have the same features as natural incidents. Just as  it happened miraculously, its natural consequences that could serve as  signs in future might have been prevented or removed miraculously as  well to avoid any disorder in the natural course of nature, and God  knows best. <\/div>\n<div>2.  My dear brother, there are some so called narrations that the narration  itself shouts &#8220;I am fabricated!&#8221;. This is one of them! Such narration  cannot be found in any reasonably reliable source.<\/div>\n<div>The  closest narration to this that in fact implies a totally different  incident is a single Hadith in Musnade Harith where it suggests that the  prophet (pbuh) asks Umar (ra) how his situation will be when Nakir and  Munkir will come to him very strongly in grave, Umar (ra) asks whether  he will have his intellect (Aql) with him at that time and the prophet  (pbuh) answers positively, then Umar (ra) says in that case I will be  able to satisfy them (Musnad Harith, 1\/379).<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-17<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6330\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
