Asalamu Alaikum

Just thought I'd share two verses with you fellows.

"And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the living creatures He has scattered through them." [42:29]

"The seven heavens and the earth, and beings therein, declare his glory." [17:44]

Allahu Alim.
 
there are 11 planets in the Solar System as stated in the Quran.We know the first 9.What are the last two?
 
Muezzin - Root, don't get me started on time-travel paradoxes, whoo boy.

I will bear it in mind. I was simply stating that people jump quickly to alien's when faced with a UFO. I merely say that it could equally be just a cellestrial time traveller or a time traveller from our future. Since the two Aliens v Time travellers have an equal probability however remote it is.

I see your point. You're kind of Fortean in your thinking ;) :)
 
Quran. 11 Planets? Could someone please post the Surah and Verse it's mentioned in because this is the first time I've heard of it.
 
Assalaamu alaikum,

11 planets? I thought the translation was 12 stars. (maybe look in Surah #12 Yusuf)

but i wouldnt say the 11/12 planets are wrong.. i've read in Discovery Magazine that 2 or 3 new planets have been recently discovered
 
[Quran 12:4] (Remember) when Yûsuf (Joseph) said to his father: "O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves to me."
 
from Abdul Aziz who quoted it from a post on another forum said:
One afternoon a dozen people and myself observed an object in a clear sky. It was the size of 2 18-wheelers placed end-to-end. It made absolutely no sound. It was about 1 mile away. It moves in ways that a helicopter cannot. We watched it for about 5 or 6 minutes before it went straight up and completely out of sight - about 50,000 feet straight up after hovering and moving slowly this way and then that way. It was astounding. None of us could believe what we were seeing.

This reminds me of Big Foot... Tons of people were so convinced there was such a thing as big foot... In the end it turned out to be a weirdo and his son who thought it was fun making false over-sized monkey footprints in the mud... Pretty depressing show it was on t.v, had to throw out all of my big foot posters, costumes and cancel my Big Foot Scouts membership... :-\

I still hope the loch-ness monster is out there... :p
 
what are you talking about?? Big Foot is real! and he's actually a friend of mine...

lol one of my friend's nickname is "Big Foot" cuz his feet are quite large.. and he's pretty tall too

Personally I think all of this talk of aliens is annoying and pointless... But dinosaurs, that's interesting... Alot of people say they were jinns...

Spinosaurus aegypticus is one cool lizard man... :shade:
 
Do aliens exist??????

Do you believe in aliens????

I know that Allah Almighty created seven worlds, so theres gonna be more creation.

Is it possible that aliens or beings from a different world can visit our Earth????

Is there anything about such existence beyond our planet in the Hadith/Quran?????

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.
 
Well it depends how you define a planet. Currrently there is no agreed upon definition, so technically we can't say for sure how many planets there are!

The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the official scientific body for astronomical nomenclature, currently defines "planet" as a celestial body that, within the Solar System:

http://www.iau2006.org/mirror/www.iau.org/iau0603/index.html
  • (a) is in orbit around the Sun;
  • (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape; and
  • (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit;
or within another system,
  • (i) is in orbit around a star or stellar remnants;
  • (ii) has a mass below the limiting mass for thermonuclear fusion of deuterium; and
  • (iii) is above the minimum mass/size requirement for planetary status in the Solar System.
http://www.dtm.ciw.edu/boss/definition.html

Therefore our solar system is thus considered to have eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Even though many think there is no "definition" to a planet, there really is a definition to one which is basically the above, and consensus of the leading experts.
 
seeing as Allah swt revealed the existence of jinn to us i see no reason as to why if they exist Allah would reveal their existence.

just my thought, i dont kno if they exist or not, dont kno much bout space neway :D
 
My own belief is that are are countless planets orbiting countless stars throughout the Universe. I believe that most probably there is life and even sapient life forms on some of them.

However, our chances of making anytype of contact with them is very small using the current techology we have. The distances are tremendous. I would doubt if there is any intelligent life within 100 light years distance from us. Any radio communication we ever get is going to be at least 100 years old by the time we get it.

I often think that if some where out in the universe there is sombody trying to pick up radio signals from Earth. Hard to believe the first communications they get from us will probably be the old "Fibber Magee and Molly" show. I guess that may make them decide there is no intelligent life on earth.
