the video shows about eclipse. They are claiming that arabs were confused about such phenomenon and thought it was moon splitting.

The people of Mecca asked Allah's Messenger (?) to show them a miracle. So he showed them the moon split in two halves between which they saw the Hira' mountain.

I haven't watched the video, but if the claim is that the Arabs were confused by the moon eclipse, I don't think that is a good argument. The reason being the Hadith literature clearly talks about a moon eclipse that happened at the time of death of one of Prophet Muhammad's sons, and everyone knew what it was (i.e. a lunar eclipse). Additionally, if I remember correctly, scientific data tell us that there was only one lunar eclipse during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad that would have been visible from Arabia.

 Assalamu Alaikum,

 Can you give me a bunch of sources which state that there has been one lunar eclipse during the lifetime of the prophet (PBUH)?

@Abdullah Almadi, sincerest apologies!
I confused the lunar eclipse with the solar eclipse. The event I was referring to, included the solar eclipse, whose date apparenlty was: "29 Shawwal AH 10, as 27 January" (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar)

On the matter of splitting of the moon, the theory FARHAN_UDDIN above has quoted (i.e. the actual splitting will happen near the day of judgement) has been one opinion of Muslim scholars. Al-Zamakhshari (a Mutazalite) and Yusuf Ali give this as one possible interpretation.

A brief analysis on the reliability of the pertinent Hadiths is done here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JI0vApyi7E

As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,

The moon was never split in half.  The following two articles make this very clear:

Take care,

 Assalamu alaikum,
 
 I watched the video fully and TBH it's stupid. First, how did the prophet know that the eclipse was coming? Second, the companions already know what the eclipse looks like, so how would the next deceived so easily? Third, the moon literally got SPLIT into two parts, the eclipse in the video doesn't look like it at all. And fourth, the Prophet (PBUH) split the moon with his index finger and that shouldn't have taken that long. The eclipse shown in the video took a long time and it was fastened up. So this video is stupid. The prophet (PBUH) split the moon and that was one of his miracles, just like the miracles of Moses and Jesus  (PBUT).

[AhmadFarooq]

According to the video I shared above (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JI0vApyi7E), the narrations which talk about, that the Prophet called the disbelievers and then with his index finger split the moon into two parts as a proof of his "Prophet-hood" are unreliable.

It would appear (according to the reliable narrations and Qur'an verse) that some extraordinary event happened (whether it be an actual splitting or whatever) and the Prophet directed the attention of the people towards it.

The Qur'an also talks about this event as evidence for the "Judgement Day" and not for the "Prophet-hood" of Prophet Muhammad.

 Is this man even a scholar anyways? Most scholars are of the view that Muhammad (PBUH) split the moon and that was one of his miracles.

[FARHAN_UDDIN]

Most scholars say this based on the hadiths. But there r many hadiths which r corrupted and completely incompatible with the verses of the Quran.

I'm sorry but in the end, was it an eclipse or did the moon get cracked?

 It is all rubbish. The prophet (peace be upon him) split the moon.
