there are 11 planets in the Solar System as stated in the Quran.We know the first 9.What are the last two?
:sl:
If Yusuf was on Earth when he saw that, there are twelve planets. Which kind of fits with the malarkey that's been going on lately...

I wouldn't take Answering-Christianity very seriously. Lots of things there are written without knowledge. That doesn't mean I disagree with that article though. It's just a general warning.
:w:
 
^^^ in some translations of the Qur'an....it is NOT 11 planets.....but 11 stars which Prophet Yusuf 'alayhis-salaam saw in his dream

English (Yusuf Ali):

12:4 Behold! Joseph said to his father: "O my father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me!"

Some translations use planets instead of stars...
:w:
 
yes....this means that there is no point in debating that the Qur'an says that there are 11 planets.....because according to some translations it is stars and NOT planets....

Perhaps some people are taking things out of context. Some freaky-deaky things happened in the Pharaoh's dream in Surah Yusuf, too, but they weren't literal representations of what was actually going to happen.
 
Oont Paranormal!

Meska am be are is sorry for my absence. =( My computer no-no work, you see. I'm using another person's computer now. XP

Anyway! What do you guys think the paranormal is are be? What do you consider things like precognition, remote viewing, and psychokinesis to be? And what about creatures whose existence has yet to be proven to the masses, like the yeti, sasquatch, and so on? Just a random thought.

Again, me am are is sorry for the long absence. Me shall become more active! =D
 
Re: Oont Paranormal!

I don't know either, but I like your member name! ;D

Oh and I like the "am be are is"! If in doubt use them all!!!! (I'm not making fun of you)
 
Re: Oont Paranormal!

Allahu Alim means Allah knows (It's arabic not spanish!).... you say it when you're not absolutely sure of something but in all cases Allah knows best!
 
Re: Oont Paranormal!

Spanish? I don't understand.imsad

It's a joke. Just my way of pointing out that westerners have a blurred view of other cultures. XP

And yes, I KNOW that Allah knows! Everyone knows that, 'cause Allah is...yeah! Allah is Allah, enough said. But I wanna know what your personal opinions are. Are they just mass hysteria? Are E.T.'s real? If so, are they the devil or are they also Allah's creatures?
 
discussions about the following topics:
*aliens (do they exist or not)
*Dinosaurs (did they exist or not)
*ghosts .

Aliens: There have been numerous sitings of them coming across the Mexico-U.S. border. They do exist

Dinosaurs: In the KJV of the Holy Bible, it says that God made the creatures that we know today: cattle, whales, fishes, etc. These didn't exist in the "time" of the dinosaurs. The Bible also states that God made man, then after a while, made woman. This makes me think that dinosaurs, evolution (to the shmarty-pontses like me, you KNOW what kind of evolution I mean), and fossils are just...yeah. Intelligent design.

Ghosts: Serious time. XP I think that they do. In the east, isn't there a strong belief in them? As in China, Japan, blah...Ancestor worship. Those kindsa things. There must be something to merit these beliefs, ya? Just a thought...not a whole lot of thought behind it, though. XD
 
aliens - Allahu allam , could exist

dinosaurs - im sure if humans were 60 foot tall at a time then perhaps creatures were huge aswell

ghosts - jinns

There is nothing in Islam specifically mentioning, by name, the Bermuda triangle, dinosaurs, asteroids, extra-terrestrials, etc, but their existence doesn't contradict with any of the Islamic teachings. As you know, the Qur'an is not a scientific and cultural book recording historical events and describing animals or other creatures. Rather, it is a book of guidance and advice that takes people from darkness and ignorance toward knowledge, enlightenment and faith. Still, the Qur'an has dealt with many subjects such as astronomy, geology, and the world of jinn etc. However, the objective behind mentioning such facts is to show that Allah has the Will and Power to create anything He wants for people to reflect on His Greatness. In this respect the Qur'an should not be considered as a scientific or academic guidebook. While the dinosaur and other natural phenomena and creatures are not specifically mentioned in the Qur'an, Allah states in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Anbiya' (The Prophets)(21) verse 16: 'We didn't create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play'. Therefore, their existence must have an important role in the development and evolution of our world and the entire universe. In addition, 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.

Allah knows best.
 
Good post, Younus.

I don't understand people who insist that dinosaurs didn't exist. I mean, how can you deny the existence of such cool animals? :p
