You can even make out the knuckles!

Personally, I see it as a sign of Allah. Everything happens for a reason so perhaps there is a moral lesson in this picture? The man who reaches toward the sky in his yearning for Allah has his actions echoed in the heavens.

It's very nice.

[Güven]

wow that looks awesome , subhanAllah ! :ooh:

[Malaikah]

Cool! It's missing a pinky though.

Woahh...that looks incredible!!

[aamirsaab]

:sl:
I love these kinds of stuff. I too think there is a reason for it but at a more superficial level: it looks beautiful. That's not to discount any philosophical angle, rather it is simply me being star-struck (haha I'm so punny!) at the site of it and anything similar.

[Shah4Justice]

Allah o Akbar...:) this is truely amazing and thought provoking. Could this be a sign for something...something Allah swt made visible for the human eye, so that mankind would wakeup and rethink their purpose...a sign to remind us the greatness of our creator...subhan Allah.
1. Besides this image being very beautiful, it scared me too...alottt... the blue hand reaching the red??????
2. also, is it possible that this could be an engineered image? just wondering.

This is a clear sign that the impoversihed blue planet is reaching for the red light of socalism!
Lenin Akhbar!
Or in other words it is not a sign at all.

SubhanAllah Amazing.

Just goes to show how insignificant we really are.

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Yea this is so cool :D mashallah. Actually tho the pinky is there but faded :D:D:D Look to the very left where there should be one...u can see something still hanging off a bit. That woulda been the pinky! :) It could have been there before THIS photo was taken. Allahu Alam. Still stunning. I love these sort of things :)

Could you in the future, just leave people to do as they please and on top of that, refrain from your burning desire to mock, please?

"Lenin Akbar"? That's not even funny.. la shai' akbar min Allah.

In other words it is not a sign? To you maybe, but to others, it is.

My view on the topic? I'm not so sure, maybe it is, Allahu a'lim.

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Yea I felt the same @ not being funny.

[Musaafirah]

Wow!
Is the hand trying to grab the fiery looking thing?
Awesomeness. :shade:

{We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? Unquestionably, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing.}[al-Fussilat; 53-54]

In other words it is not a sign? To you maybe, but to others, it is.

{And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that if a sign came to them, they would surely believe in it. Say, "The signs are only with Allah ." And what will make you perceive that even if a sign came, they would not believe.}[al-'Anaam; 109]

It useless to try and convince a blind man that the sun exists! The picture is awesome, regardless if it's a hand or not, it still looks splendid!

[Banu_Hashim]

Very Cool.

Or, it could be a right hand, and the faded digit could be the thumb.

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Yea, who knows. Either way, it's a hand alright :)

Na3am, Agreed!

Yep, I agree with you there. :D.

forgive me, oh, fellow muslims, but there are so many signs out there and I thought it was funny.
It is cool though, I said it in the beginning.

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Yep, I agree with you there. :D.

lol :D Roger that! :thumbs_up

Lol when I read "forgive me oh fellow Muslims" from you I imagined Garfield on his knees begging in an overly dramatic fashion.

Agreed though there are many signs. But the Quran is not just a criterion for differentiating between religions, it distinguished between signs as well. It tells me whether a rock that naturally looks like a man praying salat is a sign or if some trees wound together in the form of a cross is a sign. Which is to be considered the truth? Allah knows. The Quran tells. We obey.

Really things are big and vast... we are too small... ALLAHU AKBAR !!!
