Are humans the only intelligent beings in the universe?
Islam never limits Allah's creation to Earth alone.
In this thought-provoking book, Mohammed Mursalin Ahmed explores one of humanity's most profound questions through the lens of Islamic theology, classical scholarship, and modern scientific discovery. Drawing upon the Qur'an, authentic Hadith, classical tafsir, and the writings of renowned Islamic scholars, this work examines whether intelligent life beyond Earth is possible - and how Islam approaches the vastness of creation.
Rather than making speculative claims, the book carefully distinguishes between:
Revelation and interpretation
Certainty and possibility
Science and theology
You will discover:
What the Qur'an says about "creatures spread across the heavens"
Classical scholars' views on multiple worlds and cosmic life
The role of angels, jinn, and unseen realms in Islamic thought
How modern astronomy and astrobiology align with Islamic reflection
Why the possibility of extraterrestrial life does not contradict Islamic belief
Written with humility, academic discipline, and spiritual depth, this book invites readers to reflect, not speculate recklessly, and to appreciate the infinite wisdom of Allah's creation.
A must-read for anyone interested in Islam, cosmology, philosophy, and the harmony between faith and science.
