Shadee Elmasry – Islam on Life Outside Earth

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

			We are in a galaxy amongst galaxies.
		

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

			Does it say anywhere there is life except
		

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

			on earth?
		

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

			Life can be discussed, but intelligence?
		

00:00:09 --> 00:00:09

			No.
		

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

			Intelligence Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala refers to Al
		

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16

			-Thaqalain, the two weighty creatures.
		

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

			We're not allowed to believe that there is
		

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

			a sentient, mukallaf, legally responsible on the side
		

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

			of Allah creature besides the humans in the
		

00:00:24 --> 00:00:24

			jinn.
		

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

			And Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:27

			to the alameen.
		

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

			So we're not allowed to believe in matters
		

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

			that have legal import in the religion without
		

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

			some evidence.
		

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

			You may believe if you want there could
		

00:00:39 --> 00:00:44

			be life-forms, bacteria, things like that on
		

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

			other planets because there's no theological implications there.
		

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

			But to believe that there is another sentient
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

			being would require evidence.
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

			You're making claims about the unseen.
