Do Muslims believe in extra-terrestrial life ?

Do we believe in beings from outer space because the scientists say that nothing could survive out here, out there, but their bodies might be accustomed to things in outer space while our bodies couldn’t? That is correct, but when you travel out of the atmosphere of this earth, you see to it that you carry the atmosphere of earth along with you and this is why you travel in enclosed, highly sophisticated tubes or what you call rocketry, which is well provided to protect you against the influences of the space around you.

So if other beings try to enter this earth, one thing is obvious that they would also have developed to a degree where they could undertake such journeys and if they have developed scientifically to that degree, they would come well prepared and our atmosphere will not harm them like their atmosphere when we travel beyond the atmosphere of earth does not harm us if we stick to the capsules in which we are travelling. Yeah, but no, I mean like, that they might be the same kind of people as us, they say… No, no, they might be, might not be, that is, we don’t know, why should we conjecture?

The fact is that we have no knowledge whatsoever because we have not established any contact and we can’t confine Allah’s creations to the experience on this earth. If the conditions in different planets or different stars are different from this earth, naturally the life would be in conformity there with the conditions found there. So how can you expect them to grow like us if the situation there is very different? But life there can be of some sort, maybe it’s more like a robot, maybe it’s not a flesh, life made out of flesh, maybe it is life made out of chips and things, not the potato chips.

I mean, you know the computer chips, the microchips, or maybe their life is made of bundles of energy which can’t be observed and seen with naked eyes, and which are attuned to such high radiation that the radiation there in those areas does not harm them. So why do you limit the possibilities of Allah’s creation? But he can create life from every material which is available to him, which he himself has created.
