I understand that one of the miracles of our Prophet (pbuh) was splitting the moon into two. Many people must have witnessed this as it was an incident that happened in the sky. Is there any mention of it outside of our tradition?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The miracle of splitting moon was witnessed by all the enemies of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and was mentioned clearly in Quran in front of all the enemies including the idol worship pets of Quraish, Jewish and Christians people, and none of them challenged it. This itself proves that it was an undeniable fact.

An ancient India document quoted by Muhammad Hameedullah in his book ( Muhammad, The Messenger of Allah) mentioned that a king in Malabar  southern India by the name of Chakarwati Farmas  has witnessed the splitting of the moon and informed others and traveled  to Makkah to meet the Prophet. He accepted Islam and returned back india but died in the way back and buried in a place called Dhafaar which is now in Sultane of Oman. This document is still existing in the British Museum according to this book under number 2872/152-173. 
In short, if this miracle mentioned in Quran did not happen, you would have seen many enemies of Quran denying it, but no one at all denied it.

Is there a reason why Allah never sent Prophets during the modern era where every miracle could be easily recorded and verified and all Hadith could be preserved completely and accurately?
Abbas Di Palma

as salam alaikum

the Qur'an is a miracle for past, present and future generations and its being in form of a book makes it reachable to every human being. Of course it must be understood and that is why knowledge has been made compulsory in Islam.

Other miracles would have been witnessed only by a group of people. Also, in modern times could have been falsified by the use of technology. On the contrary a book divinely preserved and passed down both orally and scripturally generation after generation do not present such problems.

Similarly, the crucial hadiths necessary for salvation have been passed down through divine providence and tawatur.

With prayers for your success.
Can, and do, Mujiza and miracles take place in our times?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No one can claim ability to show miracles but by the Prophets and Infallible Imams.

It is good to follow
Abolfazl Sabouri

Jesus is a Prophet of God, so even if we accept that these are miracles, it proves that he is the messenger of Allah and is holy.

Moreover, Christianity is a religion of Allah but Muslims believe it happened distortion in this religion. And we should follow the religion of our time...
