Asalamualaikum brother paul. Loved the discussion between you three. Have you ever considered bringing in Professor Jeffrey Lang?

Another outstanding episode, backed full of gems, very informative in it's details.

Masha Allah.

Superb subject. A discussion that we have had here amongst my friends too. Look forward to reading both this, and Matthias' earlier volume.

Many thanks Paul, I find this topic fascinating! Such great range of topics on your channel.

Hi from Sweden! Thank you for an interesting and unusual discussion!

Interesting, but a few thoughts come to my mind. The first is that we as humans are like the extraterrestrials. There was a different world before we were sent here. We changed the landscape with the superior knowledge God gave man. The other thought that comes to mind is that all this talk about aliens coming to earth (like Independence Day) makes me ponder the scenario where the world unites behind this spellbinding illusion while the dajal appears and “saves” mankind from this “invasion”. Thereby convincing people he is the saviour. The point is, you have to be very careful when pondering the the unseen, because you don’t want to be advancing a belief that ultimately doesn’t benefit your akhira and might lead people astray.

"The other thought that comes to mind is that all this talk about aliens coming to earth (like Independence Day) makes me ponder the scenario where the world unites behind this spellbinding illusion while the dajal appears and “saves” mankind from this “invasion”." That's what astronomers and romantics always like to think. That the sudden discovery of extraterrestrial life forms causes mankind to cease all wars, and all nations unite, sharing the same purpose. Realistically speaking, however, and as historians of science would point out; when (for example), the Europeans disovered the New World; a reality-shocking discovery to them: internal wars did not in fact come to an end. Rather, wars only increased, as the New World simply became an extension of the Europeans' incessant drive to expand and conquer. The Americas simply become another place to fight for, and to fight over. Discovering the existence of aliens wouldn't end our own hostilities and suspicious attitudes. I seriously doubt that it would. I don't think the appearance of the Dajjal would have anything to do with a manufactured extraterrestrial and global threat. It more likely pertains to the dynamic between the believers and disbelievers (i.e. Muslims and non-Muslims), where the Muslims are portrayed as the existential threat to a certain way of life, and the Dajjal then starts fighting the Muslims. If you look at the general sentiment among many Christians; it's already very typical for many of them to specifically identify Islam as the antichrist. This is their great mistake, as they misinterpret the verse in the Bible they use to justify this belief, and the verse ironically excludes all Muslims from being with the antichrist, because the verse pertains to the belief in the prolongued corporeal life of Jesus, which only Muslims believe in (aside from Christians). So everybody else would be with the antichrist, according to the proper understanding of that verse, but the Muslims would be with God, according to the meaning of said verse. If you read the Aramaic version of that verse, it's very obvious what it really means. So Christians around the world now view Muslims as part of an antichrist system, and so when the Muslims are portrayed as the main threat to the non-Muslim world, the Dajjal would come and fight the Muslims. No aliens required. Besides, this idea of projecting aliens in the sky, threatening to eradicate mankind, so that the governments of the world combine in purpose and a global world order can be established, is a fairly well-known hypothetical scenario among conspiracy thinkers. It probably wouldn't work anyway.

@@XaeeD interesting perspective. In my view there is an event that convinces the world, many Muslims included, that Dajal is the saviour. Because we have been warned of the powers he will be given and that he will appear to people no matter where they are. Kinda like through technology, as in we can all be reached via our phones. But yes I agree the view of Muslims as the antichrist is a distortion, but I feel that is due to lack of knowledge that Muslims believe in God and that the message of Islam is a continuation of what’s come before. The more people actually read the Quran, the more they see directly that it has many things in common with their own beliefs. There is another interesting thing to ponder and that is you must have the false messiah before the actual messiah comes. Because the first will present himself as the other. It wouldn’t make sense the other way around. So those working for the appearance of the messiah by breaking all laws in the old testament such as killing of innocent (Gaza) and by also entering the land before he brings them in (basically the Old Testament says that Jews can not enter the holy land until the messiah brings them in, not that they enter and then he will appear) will basically be the followers of the false messiah since he will appear first.

Can't wait. This is a niche I have been waiting to see. More of the Islamic perspective openly discussed. I listen to a lot of Linda Molten Howe, and I always want to scream; Do you realise the Islamic concept of jinn and human history on earth answers most things?

Cosmologists can only observe up to the limit of the boundary which is why they call it the "observable universe", beyond this point the light emitted from any sources can never reach earth as the inflation is faster than light speed. The unobservable universe is theorized to be several orders of magnitude greater than the observable as a LOWER BOUND. - the upper bound is a very great number.

If you include Jinns who can reach the ends of the sky, Angels who also are intelligent , you already believe in Extraterrestrial intelligence 🤷‍♂️ We also have been visited by Jibreel PBUH.

Couldn't jinn potentially be extraterrestrial/extradimensional? Many theorists now think these ETs are coming in and out of dimensions rather than simply "another planet."

@XaeeD

Of course they are in another dimension. The Djinn would typically exist in a higher 'heaven'. The Heavens are super-imposed. So they overlap, and they're not separated in terms of distances (e.g. first heaven is here, second heaven is where the moon is at, third heaven is the sun; as some seem to believe). No, the higher levels to the same world are realities that we are simply unaware of and cannot access. Is there an angel near to you right now, recording your deeds? According to the religion, there is. So where is it? Why don't we see the angel? Because it exists in one of the higher levels of our world. Take a piece of paper and draw a simple house on it. In one of the rooms, draw a stickfigure man. That's you. Now take a second piece of paper, but this one's see-through; transparant, right? Place it on top of the first. You still see the house and the room with stickfigure you inside. Now draw an angelic being next to stickfigure you, inside of the room. Does stickfigure you notice the angel? No, because the angel exists in a 'higher' level of the same world. You're not on the same piece of paper, but your house exists throughout the different versions of the same reality. So when Djinn exist in a higher realm, but in our same world, and they try to climb up into the atmosphere, in whatever way they'd do this, and a shooting star colides with them: knocking them back down, then from the perspective of an observer in a lower realm: the shooting star just enters the atmosphere, burns up and vanishes, and you wouldn't be able to observe a Djinn getting struck by it, because that effect occurs in a realm that is beyond our own. It's possible that a being from a higher realm could enter into our own, and interact with our world. Maybe it becomes visible to us, but then exists our realm, apparently disappearing before our very eyes. They're not necessarily gone; they're still there, but no longer existing in our realm. The Qur'an says that there are seven Earths, just as how there are seven Heavens. E.g. one Earth that exists throughout the seven layers of reality. The hadith reporting the Isra wa Miraaj confirms this. The Prophet(saw) said that as he traveled through the Heavens, he saw two rivers that exist on Earth. So how can those two rivers be in higher Heavens, while also existing here? It's because the higher Heavens are super-imposed. You could still move up, in a directional sense, in other Heavens, just as you can go up in our own world, but the Heavens aren't necessarily stacked on top of one another, in terms of distances. There are more indications in the Qur'an and hadith that imply such an interpretation, but Allah knows best.

But I'll still try If Gog and Magog are so powerful that when they will be released, they will destroy everything which comes on thier way(as you may know). So, then why can't they just come over the wall? And why we still can't find that big wall hiding a much greater numbers of people than us(bcz according one narration from every 1000 people 999 Gog and Magog along with one human enter hell )?? It's bcz that was the wall build to seal the portal or doorway to another world from where these creatures used to come. 2) Also why did those people said that they don't have any protection from sun. Where on earth is this place where there is no protection from sun?? What stupid explanation do some scholars present, without any narration from sahaba, that they can't build roofs . Seriously! And if that was the case then what was the need for that irrelevant thing to say in wise book quran by Allah the All-wise? The best explanation for that is that those people to whom dhul qarnain met during his inter galactic travel were extra terrestrials and the ozone layer (protective layer against sun) of their planet had gone depleted. 3) Also why is it said that they would come from above/ elevations? Whats your explanation for that? 4)And how can the sun set in murkey water?? the word ‘water ' is not even mentioned in that verse. Then why scholars say it was water? The word is ‘Ayn’(eye) and hamiya ‘black’ something? (This I don't remember what Sahil adeem said) but I think he said the that planet was near to a black whole. 5)why did dhul qarnain used iron and copper or lead then gave it some energy in the form of heat? Why? Maybe bcz that portal could only be closed by some electromagnetic force. 6) Although there is still more but I want conclude this by asking that why don't you take Quran seriously which is revealed from God _ the creator of everything and Al-wise. And al-knowing. It's only when scientists invent something then do we fools say it was already mentioned in Quran. But don't ponder on it before. Allah says, “Do they not, then, ponder upon the Qur'ān? Had it been from someone other than Allah, they would have found in it a great deal of discrepancy” (4:82). and “This is a blessed Book which We revealed to you, so that they reflect upon its verses, and those with understanding may take heed” (38:29).

Typical misunderstanding of arabic and how translations destroy the Qur'an understanding : 16:6 the word A'lamin, yes it's a plural, but he never meant World or Universe. Why ? Because the root it is A'LM and it's about Sign for Cognition. So the concept of Plural is clear : The Signs are expending, this is why Rabb al A'lamin, the Rabb increases the Signs, what can be grapped by a mind. Translations are a disaster in matter of Verses exegesis and Islam creed. Funny video, but not really serious.

That literally was a very far fetched interpretation of the verse. The Arabs to whom the verse was addressing were very primative people: the only animals of benefit in their eyes were horses, mules and donkeys. But God is telling them that there's so many animals out there that they can't even imagine. They would have no idea what kind of sea creatures existed for example. Now you may argue that the verse would be addressing all of us, and so we would be much more aware of the different creatures out there so that it must be alluding to alien life form. But that's not true because even now we're discovering new animals! We literally have no idea how many life forms exist on our planet. So yes God directly states there are 3 life forms: Angels, Jin and Humans. If we delve into speculation then there really is no limit to the infinite scenarios we conjure up: infinite universe, multiverse, time travel... There's already plenty of fiction already out there.

They are not wrong at all. In a literal sense, it means "worlds". But then, what does "worlds" indicate? The great quranic scholar Fakhr al-Din al-Razi gives a great explanation, he notes that there is infinite space beyond this world and that God can actualize all possibilities, even worlds and universes of which we have no knowledge. The verse thus refers to God being the Lord of all that can be seen or imagined and of all that cannot be seen or imagined by human beings. In this sense, the verse conveys that God is Lord of all “space,” not only physical space, and therefore of all that exists, no matter what the nature of that existence may be. Allah is also "Al-khalaq", Allah never cease to create. It would be very naive of us to believe that we are alone.

​@@saifklee178 The root A'LM is that a mind can grap, and the root GhYB is that a mind can't grap. This is etymology, meaning dwelled since thousands years, more than 8 thousand years. The ع carries the meaning of Perception, thus علم , and the غ is the opposite, something hidden, covered, unseen. So A'lm is not about space or time, but something that carries a meaning, see surah 2.31. Space is not an object, and time aswell we can't see them both. We see the moon and its shadows to seize the time and the space. There is a difference between Al Khaliq and Al Khallaqa, by its morphology. The second says that a Creation is consequence of another one - shaddat on lam radical -. With Rabb is the concept of increasing (ordering), what ? The A'alamin. Each creation is a Sign علم. The demonstration and exegis here can't be done with english language, the arabic is so precise, and this is why the Qur'an was revealed in arabic. Mubiyn. So Uni-verse means "all side in 1" and doesn't fit at all with A'alamin concept. And Lord for Rabb it doesn't reflect enough the arabic concept. My main point is that the english is eating step by step the arabic words, changing the original meaning with foreign concepts. To spread Allah's words through non arabic people is the great challenge ! "Allah never cease to create" we could say precisely Al Khalid.
