Salaam fellow brothers and sisters of Islam,
I am an intrigued by some interpretations of the Quran on the topic of Aliens. On the following page there is a short essay with proof from the Quran stating that Aliens or other beings than us are out there in the multiverse. Are these interpretations correct?
Other words you are assuming these interpretations are correct thus you believe in other life forms other than un?
To tell you the truth this has only come to my interest recently and have no idea. Logically speaking [if other life forms exist and are greater than us] Allah would have its focus on them. Like a lion watching its prey. It would ignore the mouse directly in front of him and be more interesting in a zebra in the distance.

there is possibility that other creatures living (in some other galaxy or planet) which we human has not yet discovered. i've read in some of the scholar works that are of the opinion through the verses of Quran Al-Kareem that there may be creatures other than human living in this world or other world.
insha'Allah (if Allah will) if i'll get the same book again i will mention the ayah(verses) of Qur'an that shed some lights over it.
...Famous interpreters of the Qur'an, such as al-Allousi (died in 1850 a.d.) state that there are several verses that may support the idea (it is yet to become mainstream knowledge) of the existence of other beings and creatures outside the earth.
Among these verses are: Surah an-Nahl (16) verse 8: "And (He has created) horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and He has created (other) things of which ye have no knowledge.". Al-Allousi comments in 14/102-103 that the disbelievers are not better than the believers who have no doubts about the existence of creations of God that we (humans) don't know about (but which we believe in their existence).
Another verse is in Surah Ta-Ha (20) verse 6: "To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil.". Al-Allousi further says (16/161) that what is "between them" are the creatures in the air and the clouds (that is: above humans) that we don't know about.
A third verse is in Surah ash-Shoura (42) verse 29: "And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills." Here, al-Allousi further explains that it is not unlikely that creatures in the entire heavens do exist with different shapes and looks. Having stated this, it is always important to understand that these verses are not specific proofs of the existence of Extra-terrestrials, but if scientific evidence proves their existence, then, they would be totally in line with Islamic teachings. Please note that a verse in the Qur'an should not be interpreted (or stretched out) with meanings beyond what it can handle.
The purpose of the Quran is not to tell us every single secret of the universe. It is a guide as to how to live our lives.
Personally, I think it's more unbelievable that humans are the only sentient life forms in the universe. Probability dictates there must be other creatures who can think and build and make art and form cultures etc. I'm still reading about multiverses and the holographic universe concept, so I can't really comment on that (though based on what I understand so far perhaps it is a somewhat 'logical' way of explaining the existence of heaven and hell, and the supernatural in general).

Yes Physics is intressting, and quantum physics have blessed us with even more spooky stuff. Have you researched about "string theory"?

If you are intressted in weather it is life on other planets NASA has proven it.

A little bit. Isn't that just a unifying theory? As in, it's not so much a theory in and of itself, but a way of unifying all the disparate equations into one all-encompassing answer (personally, I reckon it's 42 )
But I digress from the topic and make a fool of myself, for I know very little about physics, quantum or otherwise.

Are you saying muslims believe in Extra - Terra - Astral ? [ Yes or No ]
Salaam:
I do not know about others .But being a muslim I believe that there must be life on other planets also.As the Holy Quran says:And Syed Abula Alaa Maudoodi has explained in his Tafheem ul Quran :
(42:29) Among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the living things, which He has scattered in both: *50 He can gather them all together whenever He wills. *51
*50 "In both": In both the earth and the heavens. This is a clear pointer to the fact that life does not only exist on the earth but on other planets as well.
Best of luck
Who can be more irrational than those who say: Design is possible without a designer ??
