Sometimes I wish I could fast-forward and see who I get married to and when But Allaah knows best.
Always thinkin about marriage.
Anyway, it's funny. My friend asked me this question just a few days ago. I said if Allah wills it to happen, then sure it can. Otherwise, I don't believe in it.
I used to see Paul Davies often when he was a visiting Professor at my uni.
An awesome and very down to earth guy. I like how he is trying to reconcile between religion and theoritical physics.
After looking at this thread, I came across a book on the shelf at home, called: - Time Travel in Einstein's Universe. Any read this before?
There is an ustadz (Islamic teacher) in Indonesia that graduated from Madinah, his name is ustadz Ahmad Sarwat, and he has an Islamic Question and Answer website.
One day, someone asked a question about time travel to ustadz Sarwat, and surprisingly, he gave an answer with science that refute Einstein's theory of time travel.
I think we need more scholars / Islamic teacher like ustadz Ahmad Sarwat who have good knowledge and also know much about science.

Didnt RasuAllah s.a.w have to travel in the future on the night of miraj
to actually see people of paradise and hell being rewarded or punished.
this should explain it
Al-Barzakh and the Life in the Grave
“Literally Al-Barzakh means interval or a barrier between two things. Allah Almighty says: “Between them is a Barzakh (Barrier) which they do not transgress.” (Ar-Rahman: 20)
Technically, it stands for an intermediary stage between this life and another life in the Hereafter; it’s an interval between death and the Day of Resurrection. Allah says: “Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.” (Al-Mu’minun: 100)
This does not mean that there would be special places for every soul, but the souls of dead people are in different places according to the level of their Iman: some of them will be on the highest paradise with the souls of Prophets and martyrs; some believers will be in a particular place in Paradise before the Day of Judgment; some will have their graves like gardens of Paradise and some will have it like pits of the Hell-Fire. All of these cases and states of people will be in the period of Al-Barzakh, each one according to the status of his Iman.
As for your second question, Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, deputy chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, answers:
“The dead person does not know anything of the life of living people because he or she lives in a completely different world. However, it is reported that the dead person feels the footsteps of those who walk over him or her. It is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at the people of the well, in which the bodies of the disbelievers killed in the Battle of Badr were thrown and said, “Have you found true what your Lord promised you?” `Umar asked, “You are addressing dead people.” The Prophet replied, “They hear better than you do, but they cannot reply.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
These narrations refer to the period that closely follows the death of a person, but after that, the deceased moves completely to a new different world where he or she will not be aware of anything of what happens at this life. This may be confirmed by the verse: “Thou canst not reach those who are in the graves.” (Fatir: 22)”
Unfortunately the answer in his web has changed with many new topics, and I cannot find it with search button because I forget the title. But I still remember the points of his answer.
He talked about time that run slower in airplane but we cannot feel it because the different is extremely small. He also gave an example of twin brothers, one stay on earth another go to outer space with rocket that run in light speed. When the meet again, the traveler is younger than his brother. But he said, it will not make one of them back to the past.
He continued his answer with "If time travel (to the past) is possible, maybe someone will back to the past, kill Prophet Adam (as), and all human would disappear".
However, in this answer, ustadz Sarwat was talked only about time travel to the past, not to the future because the questioner asked "Can someone back to the past with time machine and change something, like in movie ?".

Thanks for the reply. Yes it is a good explanation and doesn't go against Einstein. More scholars should incorporate science into their lectures.
