Sura 54 is entitled, "The Moon" and  starts right away by giving us the news about 
the splitting of the moon as a sign of the end of the world. It is interesting to know that
of all the available translations of the Quran , it was only Dr. Khalifa's translation that
pointed to the fulfillment of this prophecy and pointed exactly to the mathematical 
miracle of the Quran and its relation to the splitting of the moon. 

Let us focus on verse [54:1]: “The moon has split and the hour has drawn closer”

Here is Dr.Khalifa’s footnote on the verse is very interesting and enlightening: “ This 
important sign of the approaching end of the world came to pass in 1969 when humans  landed on the moon and brought pieces of the moon to earth. At the same time, God’s  mathematical Miracle was being gradually unveiled. Traditional Muslims opposed it,  since it exposed the fallacy of their practices.” 

When did the first prophecy come to pass?

To answer that, one must keep the prophecy in mind: “The moon has split.” This is  a metaphor. Parts of the moon have left its surface. They no longer are part of the moon. 
So, the prophecy does not refer to the landing on the moon or to the first step made by  Neil Armstrong but to the fact that Armstrong and Aldrin collected 21 kilograms of lunar  rocks to bring them back to earth. The prophecy was fulfilled at the very moment the  Astronauts left the moon in the lunar module containing 21 kilograms of rocks that had 
belonged to the moon. 

This prophecy has come to pass on July 21 1969. Let us write those numbers down in the format used by almost all countries : 21 / 07 /1969. 
We get 21071969 and 21071969 = 19 x 1109051
It is interesting to note that the american date of landing is coded. The lunar module landed on July 20 : 7 / 20 1969.  Indeed : 7201969 = 379051 X 19.

What about the time of departure?

The moment of the fulfillment is confirmed by the hour of departure. The Lunar Module  left the lunar surface at 17: 54: 1 (Universal Time) or 1: 54: 1 (EDT) and as you have seen it above, verse [54:1] is the verse that deals with the prophesy. 

So, the prophecy described in verse [54:1] was fulfilled on 21 July 1969 at 17: 54: 1 (Universal Time) (1: 54: 1 EDT) when the lunar module left the moon carrying 21  kilograms of lunar rocks. 

Let us add the Sura number (54), the verse number (1), the day (21), the month (07) and  the year (1969); we get: 

54 + 1 + 21 + 7 +1969 = 2052 or 19 x 108. 

There are 4845 verses, from the beginning of the Qu’ran to verse [54:1] and  4845 = 19 x 255. 

So, nobody can deny that verse [54:1] refers to the fact that Neil Armstrong and Aldrin  left the moon with parts of the moon. 

Now, let us read verse [54:1], verses [54:2, 3] and Dr. Khalifa’s footnote. 

[54:1]: “The moon has split and the hour has drawn closer”

[54:2] “Then they saw a great miracle; but they turned away and said, “Old magic.”

[54:3] They disbelieved, followed their opinions, and adhered to their old traditions

Footnote: “ This important sign of the approaching end of the world came to pass in 1969  when humans landed on the moon and brought pieces of the moon to earth. At the same  time, God’s mathematical Miracle was being gradually unveiled. Traditional Muslims  opposed it, since it exposed the fallacy of their practices.” 

As Khalifa makes it quite clear, verse [54: 2, 3] refers to the discovery of the mathematical  miracle and the great news it brought: The Qu’ran is the true word of God for the  mathematical code it contains is far beyond human capabilities and the Qu’ran should be the ONLY source of religious law. Hadiths and Sunnah books have nothing to do with Islam;  they are lies attributed to the Prophet and are in complete contradiction with the Qu’ran. 

"This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than God. It confirms all previous 
messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible; for it comes from the 
Lord of the universe." 10:37

"Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed this book fully 
detailed? Those who received the Scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your 
Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt." 6:114

Khalifa’s translation of verses [54:2, 3] is the true translation. It is proven by the fact that verse [54:1] deals with a prophecy fulfilled in 1969 and the unveiling of the mathematical as well as the arrival of the true Islam occurred after 1969. But traditionalists turned away from the miracle after first accepting it when they understood that accepting meant rejecting their  traditions. 

The other translations of verses [54:2, 3] cannot stand the evidence presented here.  Everything happens in accordance with God’s plan and verses [54:1, 2, 3] should  strengthen our faith and our position against those who cannot accept the words of  God in the Quran as complete, perfect and fully detailed. Instead they find in the fabrications  found in the Hadith and Sunna books another religions than the true Islam (Submission). The rest of the Sura shows how God considers traditionalists, those who follow Hadiths  and Sunnah or reject the warnings: 

[54:1]: “The moon has split and the hour has drawn closer”
[54:2] Then they saw a miracle; but they turned away and said, "Old magic."
[54:3] They disbelieved, followed their opinions, and adhered to their old traditions
[54:4] Sufficient warnings have been delivered to alert them.
[54:5] Great wisdom; but all the warnings have been in vain.
[54:6] Ignore them; the day will come when the caller will announce a terrible disaster.
[54:7] With their eyes humiliated, they come out of the graves like scattered locusts.
[54:8] As they respond to the caller, the disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult day."
[54:9] The people of Noah disbelieved before them. They disbelieved our servant and
said, "Crazy!" He was persecuted.
[54:10] He implored his Lord, "I am oppressed; grant me victory."
[54:11] We then opened the gates of the sky, pouring water.
[54:12. And we caused springs to gush out of the earth. The waters met to effect a
predetermined decision.

[...]

[54:16] How terrible was My retribution after the warnings!
[54:17] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:18] `Ad disbelieved. Consequently, how terrible was My retribution after the warnings.
[54:19] We sent upon them violent winds, on a day of continuous misery.
[54:20] It tossed the people around as if they were decayed palm tree trunks.
[54:21] How terrible was My retribution after the warnings!
[54:22] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:23] Thamud rejected the warnings.
[54:24] They said, "Shall we follow one of us; a human being? We will then go astray,
then end up in Hell.
[54:25] "Did the message come down to him, instead of us? He is a flagrant liar."
[54:26] They will find out tomorrow who the flagrant liar is.

[...]

[54:30] Consequently, how terrible was My retribution! They have been warned.
[54:31] We sent upon them one blow, whereupon they became like harvested hay.
[54:32] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:33] The people of Lot rejected the warnings.

[...]

[54:36] He warned them about our requital, but they ridiculed the warnings.
[54:37) They negotiated with him about his guests; we blinded them. Suffer My
retribution; you have been warned.
[54:38] Early the next morning, a devastating retribution struck them.
[54:39] Suffer My retribution; you have been warned.
[54:40] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:41] Pharaoh's people were warned.
[54:42] They rejected all our signs. Consequently, we requited them as an Almighty,
Omnipotent should.
[54:43] ARE YOUR DISBELIEVERS BETTER THAN THOSE DISBELIEVERS?
HAVE YOU BEEN ABSOLVED BY THE SCRIPTURE?
[54:44] Perhaps they think, "We will be the winners."
[54:45] All of them will be defeated; they will turn around and flee.
[54:46] The Hour is awaiting them, and the Hour is far worse and more painful.
[54:47] Certainly, the guilty are astray, and will end up in Hell.
[54:48] They will be dragged into the hellfire, forcibly. Suffer the agony of retribution.
[54:49] Everything we created is precisely measured.
[54:50] Our commands are done within the blink of an eye.
[54:51] We annihilated your counterparts. Does any of you wish to learn?

[...]

[54:54] Surely, the righteous have deserved gardens and rivers.
[54:55] In a position of honor, at an Omnipotent King.

As you can see, the traditionalists who reject the mathematical miracle, uphold
Hadiths and Sunnah and commit idol-worship in numerous ways are just like the
people of Noah, [54:9], the people of `Ad [54:18], the people of Thamud [54:23],
the people of Lot [54:33], the people of Pharaoh [54:41]. They are NO different.
The people who reject God’s warnings are severely punished as it is described by
God in Sura 54. Traditionalists will end up in hell just like the others
[54:47] for they reject the warnings just like the others [54:3, 4, 5, 16, 18, 21, 23,
30, 33, 36, 37, 39, 41]. People who turn to the true Islam are blessed by God.
They make a very important decision that will ensure their happiness now and forever.
Those Submitters should read Sura 54, as well as the rest of the Qu’ran, carefully
and obey God’s commandments:

[54:6] Ignore them.

Praying with traditionalists or practicing our religion with them is disobeying God.
God tells you to ignore them.

Now let us look at one of the most important verses of Sura 54:

[54:43] ARE YOUR DISBELIEVERS BETTER THAN THOSE DISBELIEVERS?
HAVE YOU BEEN ABSOLVED BY THE SCRIPTURE?

God is asking you a question. Are today's traditionalists better than the people of Noah, 
[54:9], the people of `Ad [54:18], the people of Thamud [54:23], the people of Lot 
[54:33], the people of Pharaoh [54:41]?  To God, they are no different. It is not
because they follow the same SCRIPTURE that they are BETTER than the other
DISBELIEVERS. God is directly addressing the Submitters who still think that they are
closer to today's so-called "Muslims." than other disbelievers. They must know that
they now have new brothers and sisters who devote their religion absolutely to God
ALONE and that a day will come when they will find in every corner of this earth a
Mosque devoted to God ONLY. Until then their homes where Only God is worshipped
is better than any of these traditionalists' mosques. See 9:107-108

[9:107] There are those who abuse the masjid by practicing idol worship, dividing the believers, and providing comfort to those who oppose GOD and His messenger. They solemnly swear: "Our intentions are honorable!" GOD bears witness that they are liars.

Do Not Pray in Those Masjids

[9:108] You shall never pray in such a masjid. A masjid that is established on the basis of righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your praying therein. In it, there are people who love to be purified. GOD loves those who purify themselves.
