What's Islam's stance on finding another planet?

[mission2succeed]

Is it possible there can be life on other planets? Yes. Is it likely people from earth will manage to go there and inhabit it? No.

As you mentioned, Dajjaal will be on this earth. Qiyaamah will take place on this earth. People will be resurrected on this earth.

Maybe Aaqib is thinking, "Is there life on other planets? If so, does that life include females? If so, are they good looking? If so, do they want to get married?"

I have understood. You are not married, that is why.

LOL Brother ;D

Greetings,

If life on other planets was found to exist, and it turned out that the aliens on the planet worshipped Allah and held copies of the Qur'an in its unique and unalterable Arabic text, how mightily impressed would you be?

Peace

Nothing to be too impressed about since we're familiar with the idea of the jinn understanding different human languages, it is the spirit of inspiration which intrigues me more since it is given the ability to transmit raw data from the preserved tablet which we sometimes have to make sense of ourselves.
The rythmic lyrics of the holy spirit are impressive, the evil jinn lyrics which the soul selling rappers and singers strive to gain are the more concerning type.

But why carl sagan who worked with SETI bothered to beam the arecibo message in super weird encryption into space still baffles me.

Though his demonstration of turning basic chemicals into amino acids via exposure to radiation answered a few questions for me on the origins of life on earth which Allah tells us in the Quran was cloven asunder from the heavens after all of it had started off as mist.
another geni-us!


وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنصِتُوا فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْا إِلَى قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ {29
046:029 Khan
:
And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad SAW) Nafran (three to ten persons) of the jinns, (quietly) listening to the Qur'an, when they stood in the presence thereof, they said: "Listen in silence!" And when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners.

Quran 46:29


1. Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an). They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital!

2. 'It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.

3. 'And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.

4. 'There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah.

5. 'But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.

6. 'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.

7. 'And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment).

8. 'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.

9. 'We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.

10. 'And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.

11. 'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths.

12. 'But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.

13. 'And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.

14. 'Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah., and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct:

15. 'But those who swerve,- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire'-

The question for me is if such a thing were to happen, would you be impressed enough to want to discover if perhaps just perhaps there is a God and to learn for yourself if you are a person who wants to express his thanks, for all the wonderful things you've been granted in life such as pursuing your music as a passion, for your beautiful friends and family, and for being born, in rediscovering the primordial spark of the divine fine print in yourself?

You see, all questions that begin with you must end with you too.

Islam frowns upon useless talking and discussions. One should reflect and ponder over the creation and signs of Allah, not sit wasting time over things that will not benefit anyone. Allah says He created life and spread it throughout the universe. So we know there is life out there. We don't know what level of development and intelligence it is. But it doesn't matter as we are leaving this planet nor is anyone coming here. The jinns like to toy with the kuffars with all these ghosts and alien sightings.

If an Arabic text of the Qur'an were to be discovered on another planet, that would certainly be the strongest evidence so far in favour of Islam, and if I could be sure that it hadn't been planted there as a setup, then I would probably be swayed.

Suddenly I remember one episode of "The X-Files" which Scully found a UFO with Qur'an Arabic texts on its body, and she said this is the proof that religions were conveyed by aliens from other planet.

People will use any excuse in the world - no matter how ridiculous it may be - just to reject and turn away from the truth.

There are strong evidences in favour of Islam that exist even now, and I'm planning on creating a thread about those evidences God-willing sometime soon when I have a chance one of these days. I'd request you to then peruse that thread (whenever it's created) because I'd know you would be willing to offer your objective point of view on these evidences. And I will hold you to your words on being swayed if you find them objectively strong.

By the way, I'm no means a poet, not even if I tried, but in the spirit of Rumi, I composed these lines before I'd read your response:

Pick up the gauntlet, my friend.
I'm a fool for love.
A thousand times over would I be willing to be a fool for the cup of wine in which lays the intoxication of the Beloved.
Join me in drinking from this cup of wine.
How can you know what this intoxication is when you're not willing to get drunk with me?

Music ends if it's on a sheet.
Let's come talk about the never-ending music.
Come get drunk with me.
Let's hear the music inside of us.
The Beloved is in thy heart and in mine,
Why must you insist on questions,
Here hear You are the Answer.

Did you write that poetry yourself? It's very good.

Yes, brother, Alhamdhullilah (thanks, praise, and credit to God), I did.

I work in real life as a writer (while also running my own businesses), but my field has always only been prose. I've never ventured into poetry. If I did, it would be Arabic poetry.

Masha-Allah (as God-willed). That's awesome, respected brother! Allahumma barik (may Allah bless).

If I may ask, are you a nonfiction writer or a fiction writer? That said, I'm glad that you have a business as well as I imagine writing jobs are irregular if you freelance.

Yes, Arabic is a beautiful language, and it would make sense to write poetry in that; if only I knew Arabic language ; I have picked up quite a lot of Arabic vocabulary from just hearing tafsir (exegesis) and also reading this corpus word-by-word Quran. Yet I know and don't think it will ever quite be the same though. I'd love to learn classical Arabic, although learning modern Arabic would be just as well in the meantime.

If there were to be life on other planets they would probably be making Du`aa that Allaah Ta`aalaa never allows America to set foot there. How long would it take the American government to try and "colonise" them? Call the inhabitants backwards, enforce their American constitution on the inhabitants, ruin the natural land by building skyscrapers which block out the sun, steal all the oil if there is any. And if any of the unfortunate inhabitants put up a bit of a resistance, they'll be called "terrorists" and aerial bombed. Drone strikes on the ones leading the resistance. Next thing you know America has taken the place for themselves and the natives are unwanted and kicked out.

It's better all-round if America and Britain never set foot on any other planets. They have a habit of "colonising" people, especially if they're brown.

Just like how the Native Americans were kicked out when the English set foot in America!

Actually, I make quite a lot of money from writing as I take on contracts with different companies and individuals at a time, writing for all of them. And there's a bonus, in my case: I live in South Africa, and the majority of the companies and individuals I'm employed for are in the UK and US, so they pay in dollars and pounds. Now for someone living in South Africa, that is really good, because: $1 = R14.01. £1 = R18.68. £1,000 = R18,679.80.

So working as a writer brings me in more than enough money, Alhamdulillaah.

(I work as a non-fiction writer. I used to do fiction at one point, but left it off a few years before enrolling to become an `Aalim. That's quite a long time ago.)

True, I think any inhabitants of other planets would be much better off if we didn't find them at all.

Humans have a habit of dominating anything strange or unknown and in most cases making everything worse.

As usual, history testifies to that.

 

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

Very true. They've already ruined this earth. Why do they still want to go to other planets and ruin them as well.

Haha. Just kidding. It's an excellent poem. Although I disagree with some of the content, and I don't understand the last line, nobody can deny there's some really seductive use of language there.

Assalamualaikum shaykh.

I didn't say Allah sent the messengers who we know on earth to other planets too. But IF aliens in other planets worshiped Allah and embraced religion that similar as Allah's religion, then the logical explanation is Allah sent the messengers who we didn't know to the aliens. Those messenger were not human like us, but aliens like them.

If Allah created intelligent creatures that have ability to think and build civilization, and have free will, would Allah let them live without guidance?.

These are the verses of the Noble Quran that Implies your thoughts & the op's link.

Noble Quran 17:99 '' Do they not see that Allah , who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief. ''

&

36:81 '' Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

&

65:12 '' It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge.
