aliens

Post by star_munir »

once before there was a poll that is there life in other part of universe or not.There are many planets,many galaxies etc so the question is that is there life only in earth or there are really aliens. Do you believe in UFOs or not? There are many stories and films about aliens but do they really exist according to islamic and ismaili point of view?? Share your opinion about this

Hazrat Muhammad [PBUH] is called as Rehmatul Aalameen.
The word Aalameen means entire universe that is rehmat for entire universe including all planets so does it means that there is life only in earth ?

There are many interesting movies and serials about aliens showing magic
for example recently film Koi mil gaya in which alien which was of blue color Jadoo who came to earth with other aliens in UFO and there is a serial in starplus shakalaka boom boom in which alien is shown who like to eat bananas and perform magic with his pencil. The story is interesting and I enjoy watching it every morning but I donot believe that in reality there are such aliens . Life in other planets may be in form of small plants or whatever but not more intelligent than human being or like human being. If it is than there is also need of Imam over there as Presence of Imam or Prophet is necessary over there also. What do you think about it?

No I think you got it wrong. The word Aalameen an arabic word means 2 worlds, or the world we live in & the world we will live the life after. In Arabic there is a singular, a plural for 2 and plural for more then 2.
You may say that Aalameen means whole univers and the world we live after.
I hope its clear

Rover Spirit pictures offer hope of life on Mars

New Delhi, Jan 13: For over a century, people world over had been intrigued by possibility of life on Mars and science fiction writers and astronomers added to their curiosity.

The back-to-back missions to the Red Planet – European Space Agency`s first attempt in the Beagle 2 and Nasa`s Rovers Spirit and opportunity, have once again turned the world attention on probing such a possibility.

Of the nearly three dozen expeditions to Mars, over two-third have failed in their quest to win over the Red Planet, the latest to join the list of failures being Beagle 2.

The successful landing of Nasa`s spacecraft to Mars and the subsequent pictures of the Martian landscape sent back to the Earth by Rover Spirit have generated quite an excitement among the scientists and the common man alike.

"We aim to look for water. If you find it there, the chances of life on Mars brighten considerably," Amitabha Ghosh, planetary geologist with Nasa told reporters.

Ghosh, however offers a word of caution.

"It`s too early to say anything. Once we get a detailed analysis from the spectrometers aboard the spacecraft things will be clearer," he says.

The speculation of life on the Red Planet has its moorings in the late 19th century when Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli first mapped the Martian landscape using a telescope.

Mars madness: From little green men to a presidential promise

Washington, Jan 16: Mars has inspired the human imagination for more than a century, generating a parade of little green men and bug-eyed monsters first sparked by the belief that the planet was crisscrossed with alien-made canals.

Today, fantasy has given way to science, with the Spirit Rover sending back eerily clear pictures of empty vistas and A president promising that humans will be sent to the Red Planet.

"We do not know where this journey will end. Yet we know this: human beings are headed into the cosmos," US President George W Bush said.

Mars, in particular, has long been calling us.

Astronomer Carl Sagan called the planet "a kind of mythic arena onto which we have projected our earthly hopes and fears."

"Why so many eager speculations and ardent fantasies about Martians, rather than, say, Saturnians or Plutonians?" Sagan wrote.

For starters, the fourth planet from the Sun is not only earth's neighbour, it's also the planet that most resembles our world. It has a roughly 24-hour day. It has weather and seasons, volcanoes and canyons.

When conditions are right, it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky.

Interest in mars dates back at least to the Babylonians. The ancient Greeks named Mars for their god of war. Galileo was the first to see it through a telescope, in 1609.

[42.29] And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and what He has spread forth in both of them of living beings; and when He pleases He is all-powerful to gather them together.


Notice the translation says that in both of them living beings..the heavens and the earth.
