The splitting of the moon refers to the famous miracle which Prophet Muhammed (was made to perform when the moon appeared cloven in two parts. This incident is related by a number of his companions and is accepted as correct by both Muslim & Bukhari. There is a very old tradition in south-west India (Malabar) that Chakrawati Farmas, one of their kings had observed, the splitting of the moon.
And the Jews say, “”Uzair is the son of Allah,”” and the Christians say, “”The Messiah is the son of Allah.”” That is their saying with their mouths, they imitate the saying of those who did not believe earlier, may Allah destroy them, how they are turned away (from the truth)!
Allah does not task a soul except to its capacity, for it, is (the benefit of) what it has earned and against it, is (the harm of) what it has earned. Our Fosterer! do not catch us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Fosterer! and do not lay on us a burden like the one which was laid by You on those before us. Our Fosterer! and do not lay on us (a burden for) which we do not have the strength to bear, and pardon us, and protectively forgive us, and have mercy on us, You are our Guardian so help us against the people who are infidels. (R 40) “”
Whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is Allahs. And whether you manifest that which is in your souls or hide it, Allah will call you to account for it, then He will protectively forgive whom He wills and will punish whom He wills and Allah has power over everything.

Enemies of Islam had intended and planned to murder Ibrahim (PBH), Isa (PBH) and Muhammed (PBH) but they could not do so because Allah (SWT) had saved them. In this case, there is the bad intention and the cruel plan to kill innocent persons for no fault of theirs, therefore even if these persons could not execute their plan they are accountable, whether they had made their plan known to others or had kept it a secret because Allah (SWT) knows all secrets. The problem of punishing or forgiving such persons totally depends on Allah (SWT) because He has We may forget to implement some order of Allah (SWT) or commit a mistake while executing His orders, therefore we have to pray to Him for not catching us for such things and request him not to lay a burden on us as He had layed on our predecessors and a burden for which we do not have the capacity to bear. We should pray to Him for pardoning our past sins, protecting us from future sins, showering His mercy on us as our Guardian and finally helping us to invite the infidels towards Islam, through our faith and deed or giving us domination over them.”
