UFOs in Islam
Adapted from Daniel O'Connor's book "Only Man Bears his Image"
In the Quran, Allah is the "Lord of the worlds" (al-Fatihah, 2), which entails limitless probabilities and could mean anything. ...
...this discovery [of intelligent aliens], although it would certainly constitute a cultural shock of first magnitude, would not cause a major theological problem in Islam. source
Beginning with Islam, we see that, from the start, this religion has welcomed the idea of non-human, non-angelic intelligences, which can easily be understood in the present day as aliens and UFOs.
The religion’s basic text, the Quran, appears to repeatedly indicate the existence of aliens by its reference to many inhabited worlds. As one author explained:
...even strictly literal readings of the [Quran] seem to support the idea of the plurality of worlds, which has been the basis of much science fiction. Qur’an 1:2 translates as ‘praise to God, lord of the worlds’. In total, the expression ‘lord of the worlds’ (rabb al-ʿālamīn) occurs forty-two times in the scripture.
... ʿālamīn not only means ‘worlds’, but also suggests ‘men’... Qur’an 42:29 means: ‘And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them.’ ... [a footnote on a famous Quran translation reads:] ‘Life is not confined to our one little Planet. It is a very old speculation to imagine some life like human life on the planet Mars.’[286]
Another researcher relayed that:
The Qur’an does not leave the faithful guessing as to whether extraterrestrial life exists. As early as the first century after the birth of Islam, one of the most revered of the early leaders of Islam, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (676–733 [A.D.].), wrote, “Maybe you see that God created only this single world ... Well, I swear by God that God created thousands and thousands of worlds and thousands and thousands of humankind.” ...many Islamic scholars strongly suggest that living creatures exist beyond the Earth. ... [The] Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan ... asserts that “The second part of the same verse [42:29] speaks not only of the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but it categorically declares that it does exist.[287]
Little surprise, then, that the contemporary “Nation of Islam” movement is fixated on extraterrestrials. Muslims are well primed to accept the “aliens” (demons) when they appear on a global scale.
Only Christianity can defend us against this UFO deception.
