Where did he say this is supposed to be in the Quran? Perhaps he is referring to Surah Fatiha where it says Allah is the Lord of the Worlds.  (plural) and some people take this to mean that there are other worlds, planets and therefore other life on these worlds/planets....???


I've seen alot of things but not a UFO yet... alhamdulillah :)

Yes this could be a misunderstanding of understanding the Quran.. could be no such things....

UFO are seen only by Americans as most aliens may like to deal with Super Understanding citizens........

Thank you...I Shall refer my friend to this area....and not to promote such stories..  8)

Actually there is some truth to this.  There is one Ayat of the QUrtan (can't remember which one) which, accordoing to Maududdi's commentary, was commented on by Ibn Abbas (RA) as implying that there are other planets in the universe with rational beings and to whom Allah SWT sent messengers.  If anyone jas his commentary, you might want to try and look for this.

But this does NOT mean that UFO's are real.

As far as I know, we can only be sure that the other creatures that occupy this realm of existence are the Jinn.  Allah mentions that we both live in this world together.

I always wondered, if people are so sure that there is intelligent life on other planets, then obviously the life there couldn't be that intelligent or else they would have already found us.  If they are waiting for us to find them, then I guess that can't be that smart.

Given all the billions of galaxies in the universe, and that the earth doesn't show much sign of visitation from others, I doubt other life exists.  

In addition, there is emerging evidence pointing to something called the Anthropic Principle, which states that all physical constants in the universe are fine tuned to produce life on earth.  For example, if g=9.82 instead of g=9.81, we wouldn't exist.  Whats more fascinating is that some constants, if changed, would preclude matter from existing.  SubhanAllah!!!

Assalamu 'alaikum,

         [quote]As far as I know, we can only be sure that the other creatures that occupy this realm of existence are the Jinn.  Allah mentions that we both live in this world together. [/quote]

                    Jinns are not as limited in their movement in outer space as humans are. Jinns (the evil ones) go upto the first heaven and try to steal knowledge or information on orders being provided to angels regarding the umoor to be conducted on earth, and when caught, they are being chased and killed by meteors. This shows that they can move to distances of hundreds of thousands of miles in mere seconds including the outer space( Please read the story of Prophet Sulaiman A.S as well). Not only that, but they have lives upto 1500-2000 years as well, and I am not sure if that was mentioned as the average lifespan of a jinn or maximum.
                 The following are just MY thoughts: There is a possibility that other planets and galaxies might be habitats of jinns and their families, and who knows they would go to these planets and other galaxies for seclusion and 'ibaadah just like humans sometimes also seek seclusion to focus and concentrate on 'ibaadah.

Wallahu Ta'ala A'lam.

Wassalam.

Hmm...perhaps they [i]did[/i] find us, and were intelligent enough to go back...?

It may be that they know if man has access to certain technology it may be used for more  harm than good. Isn't that the case with us, we spend more on R+T to develop military techonology, if we look around us most of it was designed in the military or used for a purpose of war. Even the poor countries are hell bent on using money for funding war.
