Mention of Existence of Alien life in the Quran

    In this article, I have written about the verse of the Holy Quran which mentions the Existence of Alien life. I have also written views of different Muslim scholars on existence of Alien life. Translation of Verse 29 of Surah Ash-Shura And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and all living beings(Daabah) He dispersed throughout both. And He is Most Capable of bringing all together whenever He wills. Explanation                         The above-mentioned verse of the Holy Quran very eloquently describes some of the signs of Allah Almighty's power and greatness. One of his signs is the creation of heavens and the earth and all living beings he has spread in both of them. If you read again then there is the Arabic word 'Daabah' which means living creatures. In my last article I explained how this word could mean extra terrestrial life that could be present in the vast expanse of our un...

Mention of the Existence of Life beyond Earth in the Quran

       In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Quran which talks about the mention of Extraterrestrial life. Translation of Verse no.49 of Surah An-Nahl And to Allah, ˹alone˺ bows down ˹in submission˺ whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures(Daabah), as do the angels who are not too proud ˹to do so˺. Explanation:                         In this verse of the Holy Quran, it is said that Every living being, whether it is in the heavens or in the Earth, bows down to Allah Almighty. This verse of the Quran mentions a concept that is quite popular nowadays, which is the existence of aliens or extraterrestrial beings besides those living on our planet Earth. There is some confusion on whether Aliens do exist or not. Some question their existence, while some believe that they are somewhere out there in the far corners of the Universe. The possibility of finding Alliens ...

Mention of Multiple Universes in the Quran

     In this blog, I have written about the mention of multiple universes in the Quran and the translation of Surah al-Fatiha. Translation of First verse of Surah al-Fatiha "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin(Universes)." Explanation:                         The above-mentioned verse of the Quran, which is the first verse of the Holy Quran, talks about an idea that is very popular now a days and that is the idea of exisistence of multiple or parallel universes. In the start of this verse it is also mentioned that All praises and thanks to Allah and then at the emd of this this verse its is mentioned that he is the Lord of all worlds/Alamin/universes. This concept of parallel universes, which Physics has proposed just recently, has been mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago. This enables us to think about the greatness and wisdom of Allah. Although the concept of parallel universe can ...

Shape of the Earth mentioned in the Quran

       In my previous blog, I wrote about the explanation of Verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumar which mentions how day changes to night and how night changes to day. The only 2 ways for this to be possible is that the Earth rotate around its axis which I wrote about in my previous blog and the second possibility is that the Earth is spherical. In this blog, I will discuss about the spherical shape of the Earth. Translation of Verse 30 of Surah al-Naziat He made the earth egg-shaped. Explanation:                         This verse of the Quran mentions that the Earth is shaped like an egg. Some people say that the Earth is round but in reality, it is not completely round. It is flat at the poles and bulging from the equator. If you compare the image of the Earth which we got from the pictures taken from the satellites with an egg. You will get to know that the shapes of the Earth and an egg are in quite resemblance to...

Description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran.

     In this blog, I have written about the description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran. Translation of Verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumar He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He wraps the night around the day, and wraps the day around the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He is truly the Almighty, Most Forgiving. Explanation                        In this verse of Surah, Az-Zumar Allah has told us how night changes into day and how day changes to night. If you look at the sky just around the time of sunset you would perceive it as night wrapping around day and at just around the time of sunrise day wrapping around night. The only 2 ways for this to be possible are that the Earth should rotate along its axis and that the Earth is spherical in shape. Now today we know that Earth takes one day(24 ho...
