In sura Al-Qamar 54:1-2, it is evident that the Quran says:
The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]. And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."
Did this phenomena ever happened? Who witnessed it if it ever happened? What were the circumstances under which it happened? I would like to know the history behind it.
Or, it just never happened. In that case, what does 54:1-2 mean?
