No life in outer space!? Where was that revealed? When life IS found in outer space, will that mean Islam is false or just the interpretation, assuming there IS a source and that view is widely accepted.
Be that as it may, how can bowing to the rivers of India be seen as worshipping something other than Allah, but praying to the Qibla as not?
why are you waiting them to go to space... why not jump in the bandwagons of those ignorants who already label praying in the direction of Qibla as praying to Qibla.. nice work Newton!
Seems to be showing an inordinant amout of respect to a place, hardly indistinguishable from what is usually seen as shirk such as bowing to the rivers of hindustan.
But really, does the Quran actually say there is no other life other then here on earth?

I do not recall myself... but there is one ayah that says that there are 7 other plantes besides earth out there by this Sun... It always made me wondered because there were 8, as I was taught.. thanks God, Science again has proven Quran correct by the exclusion of Pluto ;-) just like it did with the discovery of pharoa 1400 years after the revelation in Quran.. Only makes my faith strong.
The definition of 'planet' is aribitraryand one that will continually change as scientists discover things and change definitions, so don't hang your hat on the number 7 or your theory will be disproved and your faith weakened within the next few years. But the universe is vast - much, much more massive then even modern man can imagine, so limiting Divine planetary revelations to the tiny fraction of a fraction that is our solar system terribly limits the knowledge God imparted on man is his last message.
Is that what you do whan you don't have answers to legitimate points presented? Minimilize, misinterpret and insult a religion I don't even follow on an unrelated point? Typical diversionary tactic.

There are countless living beings through out the Universe and beyond, and they are called Angels; that is also a life form who are in constant prayer to the Almighty all through the seven heavens. What are the dimensions of the seven heavens Allah only knows.
The holy Kaaba is to establish one direction for prayers for all humans Jinnaat and Angels.
no it was right on the money... because you failed to read everything just like any other people of the book ... just like chrisitians believe in Torah but eat pork : -)
No, I read everything you posted and you didn't understand my reply. Just like you probably don't understand that I am not impressed by one's holiness based on their strict interpration of tradtions based on sayings that someone reported that someone else said that are interpreted as words of God. And enough with the Christian analogies, they have nothing to do with this subject.
So basically the person will face the earth from the remote planet for Qibla direction... which will always change.... LoL so much for a universal religion...
