Shadee Elmasry – Islam on Life Outside Earth

We are in a galaxy amongst galaxies.

Does it say anywhere there is life except

on earth?

Life can be discussed, but intelligence?

No.

Intelligence Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala refers to Al

-Thaqalain, the two weighty creatures.

We're not allowed to believe that there is

a sentient, mukallaf, legally responsible on the side

of Allah creature besides the humans in the

jinn.

And Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent

to the alameen.

So we're not allowed to believe in matters

that have legal import in the religion without

some evidence.

You may believe if you want there could

be life-forms, bacteria, things like that on

other planets because there's no theological implications there.

But to believe that there is another sentient

being would require evidence.

You're making claims about the unseen.
