=== Muhammad splits the moon vs cannot perform a miracle ===
''Main article: [[Muhammads Miracles#Moon Splitting Miracle|Moon splitting miracle]]''
The Qur'an (according to a common interpretation) and a hadith tradition state that the moon was miraculously split into two pieces and then, presumably, put back together again.
{{Quote|{{Quran|54|1-2}}|1. The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
2. Yet if they see a sign they turn away, and they say 'A continuous sorcery!'}}
Yet we are told Muhammad cannot produce a sign (in the form of a miracle),<ref>https://aslamsheriqbal.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/quran-testifies-muhammad-performed-no-miracles/comment-page-1/</ref> but only warn people with the message, in verses such as:
{{Quote|{{Quran|13|7}}|The unbelievers say, "Why has God not sent him, (Muhammad), some miracles." (Muhammad), you are only a warner. For every nation there is a guide.}}
{{Quote|{{Quran|6:109}}|They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a (special) sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say: "Certainly (all) signs are in the power of Allah: but what will make you (Muslims) realise that (even) if (special) signs came, they will not believe."?}}
{{Quote|{{Quran|11|12}}|Perhaps you, (Muhammad), may by chance leave (untold) a part of that which is revealed to you and feel grieved because they say, "Why has some treasure not been sent to him or an angel sent down with him?" Say, "I have come only to warn you." God is the Guardian of all things.}}{{Quote|{{Quran|10|20}}|They (unbelievers) say, “Why has his Lord not given him some miracles to (support his claim of being His Messenger)?” Say “(The knowledge) of the unseen certainly belongs to God. Wait and I too shall be waiting with you}}{{Quote|{{Quran|21|9}}|But they said, ‘[They are] muddled dreams!’ ‘Indeed, he has fabricated it!’ ‘Indeed, he is a poet!’ ‘Let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the former generations.’}}
