THE VOYAGE TO THE MOON [PREDICTED IN THE QUR'AN 1500 YEARS AGO

[Al Qur'an, 84:18-20]

And [I swear by] the moon when it is full, you will mount up stage by stage! What is the matter with them, that they have no faith?

After referring to the Moon, the above verses then say that people will mount up stage by stage. The term tarkabunna comes from the verb rakiba, (to mount, walk on a path, follow, embark upon, set about,

participate, or rule). In the light of these meanings, it is very likely that the expression "you will mount up stage by stage" refers to a vehicle to be boarded.
