Re: aliens?
A different species that is still people (as in God sent his message to all peoples)? Double duh on you. I guess your science is not Biology, or Zoology for that matter.
Just face it, the existence of alien life can not be reconciled with religion. If you believe in aliens, as well as the theory of evolution, then you can’t truly believe in Islam at the same time. Quit kidding yourselves.
Re: aliens?
Its a fact that we have had 125,000 prophets or so were they all on Earth or were they also sent to other places i dont think we know that. Prophet Muhammed (PBUM) was not the only prophet spreading the message of Islam. You saying going across galaxies would be a miracle well as we know the Prophet Muhammed (PBUM) made his journey into the skies in one night. so why cant that be possible?
Re: aliens?
^ Mansoor you are talking to the wrong guy here. Since you are new here so might not know this Mr. Stewart is one of many non-Muslim here hence he doesn't believe in event of Laylatul Meraj (journey into skies).
Re: aliens?
Isn't the story that Muhammed flew on a horse to the throne of God just that - a story?
If God gives messages to alien species, it in all likelihood does not at all resemble the messages he presented here.
Re: aliens?
Why do I have a feeling that you're all thinking of aliens as those green little creatures with big eyes?
Why cant there be something like a parallel universe or something? And those 'aliens' could be exacty like us?
I was never a sci-fi fan. :o
Re: aliens?
Do you believe it AS?
Re: aliens?
Yes
Re: aliens?
Alien literally means different my dear girl. If they were exactly like us, they wouldn’t be aliens.
Re: aliens?
Interesting. Is that story actually in the Koran, or something that came later?
Re: aliens?
^
Al-Isra (17) and An-Najm (53).
“HE IS THE EXALTED ONE WHO TOOK HIS SERVANT ONE NIGHT FOR A VISIT FROM THE SACRED MOSQUE (IN MECCA) TO THE REMOTE AQSA MOSQUE (IN JERUSALEM), WHICH SURROUNDINGS WE HAVE BLESSED, (WE TOOK HIM ON THIS VISIT) TO SHOW HIM SOME OF OUR SIGNS."
Re: aliens?
But isn't the story allegorical, a dream or even some form of astral projection?
Is that the extent of the story or do most believe he physically rode a winged horse to Mt. Sinai, Bethlehem, and then to heaven to meet personally with all the important prophets to get their blessing? Not in a dream or spiritually, but in person.
Sorry for the tangent, perhaps it's for another thread. I don't know what this has to do with this thread unless Burak was an alien.
Re: aliens?
All I needed.:o
What would be really nice is if we had somebody on gs who had some in depth knowledge about Islam. It would be so very helpful.
Re: aliens?
^ well you're the self-appointed queen, shouldn't you knowledgeable?
Re: aliens?
I don’t see any mention of a winged horse in this passage. Seminole it looks like you’re becoming something of a muslim scholar. I’m impressed.
Back to the subject though, does anyone disagree with me that it’s impossible to reconcile a belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life with fundamentalist religious beliefs?
Re: aliens?
**a·li·en

these are the definitions for alien and an alien can from another place and still look like us
Re: aliens?
some people show thmeselves as being so well educated yet they can't spell a single word which is QURAN
Re: aliens?
^ actually there are 4 or 5 different ways people spell Quran same with Makkah or Muhammed
Re: aliens?
the right spelling of the QURAN is just that and just like the spelling of the bible is just that and not the baybal and jessus is not spelled with a g but rather j
Re: aliens?
WOW stop getting so angry all im saying is in different cultures people spell things differently i have seen bible spelled in different ways as well it just depends where you look.
