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.

Re: Startling Cosmic Photograph Taken! Human hand reaching towards the light!
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.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Re: Startling Cosmic Photograph Taken! Human hand reaching towards the light!
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.
Re: Startling Cosmic Photograph Taken! Human hand reaching towards the light!
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.

Re: Startling Cosmic Photograph Taken! Human hand reaching towards the light!
Yea this is so cool mashallah. Actually tho the pinky is there but faded 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.
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.

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!

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