Landing on Moon

Man landend on moon and brought lunar surface samples back to earth in 1969. The vehicle Eagle left lunar surface on 21. July 1969 at 17:54:01 UTC. This coressponds to the 6th of Jamaadah al Awal (6th month) year 1389 Hijri (to migration pf the Prophet from Mecca to Madina) which means landing on Moon occured in the year that completes 1390 years to Hijra according to Islamic calendar. This is the only verse in the Quran that says anything about moon splitting. The verb Inshaqa (split) (إنشق) is used in other contexts in the Holy Quran to refer to splitting of earth as by water falling from the sky and making rivers. This verse is the 1390th verse from the end of the Quran, in other words, from this verse to the end of the Quran there are exactly 1389 verses. 1389 verses from this verse Quran ends, and 1389 years from Quran revelation, man would land on moon and bring, by his hands, lunar soil back to earth.

And to increase our confidence let us consider what God says right after this verse:

"ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿١﴾ وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌۭ مُّسْتَمِرٌّۭ ﴿٢﴾ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍۢ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ ﴿٣﴾ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ﴿٤﴾ حِكْمَةٌۢ بَـٰلِغَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ﴿٥﴾"

" 2. But whenever they see a miracle they turn aside and say, This is well-devised magic. 3. And they have treated the prophets as impostors, and follow their own lusts; but everything is unalterably fixed. 4. A message of prohibition had come to them - 5. Consummate wisdom - but warners profit them not."
