Any way belief in the the splitting of the moon is not a prerequisite to enter Al Islam. The prerequisite are beleif in Gd and Muhammad's prophethood.
American Muslims have respite for the scientific literate and educated public that now exists in the world. Events of the pass that seem like fairy tales require a rapprochement. Believers prima facie are still allowed to beleive in the literal miracle. Here the interpretation of the moon splitting by America's Imam Warith Deen Muhammad, son of Elijah Muhammad. Please excuse the caps. This was the only way I was able to capture it. In addition is some rational support for the faith based event . Also my blog that deals with scriptural interpretation in the 21st century. Hope this is pertinent. Thank for your comment.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PBUH) SAID THERE’S AN EXPLICIT AN IMPLICIT MEANING TO EVERYTHING HE DID, SORT OF AN ABSTRACT COUNTERPART
FOR EXAMPLE THERE AN ABSTRACT, OR SPIRITUAL COUNTERPART TO EACH ONE OF YOUR FIVE SENSES. THE SPIRITUAL COUNTERPART FOR YOUR EYES IS THE POTENTIAL X-RAY VISION OF YOUR MIND WHICH CAN TAKE YOU DEEPER INTO MATTER THAN YOUR PHYSICAL EYES CAN. EACH ONE OF YOUR FIVE SENSES HAVE GOT A SPIRITUAL OR ABSTRACT COUNTERPART.
BUT GETTING TO THE SUBJECT BELOW AT HAND:
THE MOON IS EMBLEMATIC OF PRIVATE, PAROCHIAL CONCERNS. YOU CAN’T SEE HOW PERFORM AN INTRICATE SURGICAL OPERATION USING MOONLIGHT. THE MOON REPRESENTS A TYPE OF RULE THAT IS PRIVATE, NOT ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, A NORROW, CLANNISH RULE.
A CLERGY IS A FORM OF ‘MOON RULE’, IT DEPENDS ON INPUT FROM A FEW RULERS WHOSE COLLECTIVE LIGHT IS DULL, LIMITED IN SCOPE LIKE MOONLIGHT. MOONLIGHT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO ILLUMINATE THE SOCIETY LIKE SUNLIGHT.
ARISTOCRACIES, DICTATORSHIPS, AUTOCRACIES, PRESIDENT FOR LIFE AND RELIGIOUS CLERGIES ARE EXAMPLES OF ‘MOON RULE’.
RULING WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERN IS MOON RULE, MANY SO-CALLED MUSLIM GOVERNMENTS ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ‘MOON RULE’ THAT PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PBUH) PUT A CRACK IN OVER 1,400 YEARS AGO.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PBUH) PUT A CRACK IN MOON RULE, MEANING THERE ARE NO CLERGIES, OR PRIEST CLASSES, NO ARISTOCRACIES, DICTATORSHIPS, PRESIDENTS FOR LIFE, OR AUTOCRACIES IN AL ISLAM BECAUSE THEY DON’T SHINE ENOUGH LIGHT FOR AN ENLIGHTENED SOCIETY.
MOST OF THESE SO-CALLED MUSLIM GOVERNMENTS ARE NOTHING BUT MOON RULE THAT PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PBUH) PUT A CRACK IN OVER
1,400 YEARS AGO.
