Surah al-Qamar [Quran 54:1-3]

"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."And they denied and followed their inclinations.

But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.''

Historical documentation of the splitting of the moon:

An Indian historical manuscript [The Indian manuscript is kept in the India Office Library, London, which has reference number: Arabic, 2807, 152-173.It is quoted in the book “Muhammad Rasulullah,” by M. Hamidullah].

The fact that is popular among the Kerala Muslims goes like this:

Once Cheraman Perumal was walking with his queen in the palace, when he witnessed the splitting of moon. Shocked by this, he informed his astronomers to note down the exact time of moon split. Then, when a bunch of Arab merchants visited his palace, he asked them about this incident. Their answers led the King to Mecca, where he met Mohammed and converted to Islam. Mohammed named him as Thiya-uj-uddan. Then, the king wrote letters to his kingdom to accept Islam and follow the teachings of Malik bin Deenar. Accompanied by Malik, Cheraman Perumal died on the way back to India. But the crew visited Musiris and gave the letter to the chieftain there, who welcomed them and helped in the construction of the first mosque in India. Arathalli temple was converted to Juma Masjid in 629 A.D and the crew settled around the mosque. (wikipedia)

The Indian king that visited the Prophet (ﷺ) is mentioned in the Books of Hadith.

In al-Hakim’s Mustadrak it is reported that Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said: “Then the King of India gave Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) a gift, a bottle of pickle that had ginger in it. The Holy Prophet distributed it among his Companions. I also received a piece of it to eat.”

It is known that the king became a Companion through meeting the Messenger (ﷺ) and believing in him and dying as such. Islamic references preserve the story of this Companion, who came from India. Imam Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani has mentioned him in al-Isabah and in Lisan al-Mizan. He says that his name was (Sirbanak), the name he is known by among the Arabs.

It is due to this incident about their king, the people of Malabar became the first community in India to accept Islam is an undisputed fact. Subsequently, they increased their trade with Arabs, as the Arab ships used to pass by their shores on the way to China before the advent of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Scientific proofs FROM NASA is the Rima

Ariadaeus is a linear rile on the Moon at 6.4°N 14.0°E. It is named after the crater Ariadaeus, which marks its eastern end. Over 300 kilometers long, it is thought to have been formed when a section of the Moon's crust sank down between two parallel fault lines (making it a graben or fault trough)
