What could have happened is he heard of a great conqueror, on his way there someone explained that the moon split according to Muhammad, and all of this converted him.

That story has the same backing as this

>on his way there someone explained that the moon split according to Muhammad

but if he didn't see him split it this would disprove islam, no?

Why would it disprove Islam?

The entire world didn't see it split

If him not seeing it disproves it, the rest of the world must as well

I'm pretty sure the moon split could somehow be explained astronomically or scientifically, and if not I'm pretty sure it's not as we think it was.

Do we have any precise description of how the moon looked like btw?

Some Muslims think it's allegorical

It probably was not an eclipse imo

It split in half completely iirc

Bc I think there was only one eclipse during the time of his life

And the Quran already used that one up earlier I believe

Tribal

People knew what an eclipse was and how it worked very well, it was definitely not an eclipse.

I haven't done any research on the subject, I'm gonna look it up.

I mean it doesn't need a scientific explanation

As it's only been noted within Islamic tradition

i've always found it scary how successful this religion is

besides that point

Christianity has more converts, Islam just has more babies

Battle of yarmouk?

what sort of christianity? @Eoppa

En toto

but you don't consider other churches to be christian

Sure I do

There is a difference between apostasy and heresy/schism

you misunderstand me

i pointed out the success of islam on the global stage as a sort of oddity that may indicate that it could be the correct faith

But be careful lending credence to a church based on growth

i don't *necessarily* do that

but it's just odd

i was talking to my ortho friend about this just a few moments ago

This is what condemned the charismatic movement

and he said that he had dreams of allah torturing him for rejecting the quran

coincidentally, muslims believe allah sends revelations in dreams only

seeing all of this in such short notice can have an effect on a soul

Funny

I had a dream that I was shaving a wall of potatoes today, but anyways Islam is demonic

Religions always play this trick on people. *What if this religion is actually the true one? It has many followers. What if their God punishes me?*
And that's mainly why religions suck. They inspire fear. Especially during the Middle Ages.
