Subhanallah...

May Allah subhanahuwata'ala forgive me / us for everything that i /we have done.
 
Re: U gotta see this!!!!!!!

And this makes it rather easy to see, that there might be other civilizations in this huge space. Besides, if there would be a god, and we really would be alone, why then this big waste of space?

did you like Contact? you seem to be qouting it.

I agree.

If we are the only life here and a god made everything for us. It seems like a big waste of space.

well maybe god has some other reason for creating this large space unnecessary for us humans to know. cant you just look at it with admiration instead of doubting and over questioning?

Any Idea what all that space is used for?

Seems a lot of work there just for little old us!

BTW, The furthest we can see into the universe is
4004605284000000000000000000000 Meters.
Then we have to start using radiography, which takes the known universe into gigaparsecs. And thats not small.

Do you think people can question the way you decorate your house?:blind:

In that context, what is the 'official' muslim position, as much as there is one, on the possibility of life elsewhere in the Universe? Is it possible that there are other inhabited planets, with intelligent species, all of whom are creations of God just as much as man, and who had/have their own Prophets and Qur'an's? Or, in other words, that there could be alien muslims? Or would that concept be haraam ?

I do not see any problem with that. I can not find anything in the Qur'an or Hadith that would be violated if that is the case.

It could be. Ive contemplated over such matters before. Its possible that Allaah has created other species and given them tests similar to us. But since Allaah has not confirmed anything for us we leave it at question marks.

But i do believe that this dunya is our place for the test and we wont inhabit - experience life elsewhere. What does the word "dunya" imply? i always understood it to be this blue earth of ours, but it could encompass more...



Allahu A'lam


Peace !

As a side thing, concerning the meaning of the word 'dunya' in arabic:

Affirming the sifah (attribute) of hayaat (Life) for Allaah, and that His life is one of perfection, neither preceded by ‘adam nor coming come to naught nor characterized by imperfection. On the contrary, our life originates in ‘adam and will come to an end, and it is accompanied by imperfection. If fact, all of our life is imperfect, and that is why Allaah described it by ad-dunya.*
----------
*Ad-Dunya (fem. of adnaa): Denoting what is low or inferior.
