1. LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS
Regarding the question about life on other
planets, the Quran does not mention
anywhere about the existence of any
physical life on other planets apart from the
Earth. However, the Quran describes
that life goes through different dimensions
and carries forward from one shape to
another. Some of these exist on the earth
and its atmosphere whereas the
rest exist beyond our sky. An earthly body
is given to our life in the present dimension,
which is then to be returned to the earth for
good if one successfully progresses to the
higher dimension but if one cannot progress

2. to the higher dimension of their life they will
be returned to their earthly body in the new
life (30:19-20), (2:56), and their life will
progress in earthly bodies until it becomes
eligible to progress into the higher
dimension. In the verse 70:4 of Surah Al
Maarij (The Upper dimensions) the Quran
clearly states that the angels and the life
(ُ‫وح‬ُّ‫ر‬‫)ال‬ progress to the higher dimensions
and it takes one thousand years to climb
the dimension. The current translation of
the whole Quran is absolutely wrong so
is the translation of Surah Al Maarij. To hide
the actual message of the Quran mentioned
in the above verse 70:4, our thick scholars
invented the myth that Allah’s one day is
equal to our 1000 years. The blind people
publicise the same non Quranic myth in the
name of Dars-e-Quran. All magazines who
claim to publish the pure education of the
Quran have also written so many articles in
which it was mentioned that Allah's one day
is equal to our 1000 years. No one ever

3. bothered looking at the actual Arabic text of
this verse and pondering upon why Allah
should mention the years of some other
place when addressing the people of the
earth. Anyway, there is a life beyond the
earth but its shape, material and body is
different. They do not creep or walk like
animals/creature of the earth (ُ‫ة‬َّ‫ب‬‫َا‬‫د‬). The
concept of similar to the earthly life on the
other planet came from the false Ahadith
and was inserted in the misleading
translation of the Quran to hide the actual
statement of Allah and also to prove the
fabricated Ahadith right from the Quran.
Our scholars quote many verses of the
Quran in the favour of their Pagan myth of
the existence of animals in the sky and
other planets, as the Pagans used to
worship the animal's heads and used to
think that they were revealed from the
Heavens, but the actual words of these
verses are about creating the earth, skies
and the planets, and nowhere does

4. it mention living creature or animal in these
verses. There is only one verse 42:29,
which is used as strong proof of having
living creature or animals on the other
planets because of the word ُ‫ة‬َّ‫ب‬‫َا‬‫د‬ but again
the words of this verse ُِ‫ه‬‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬‫ن‬ِ‫اُم‬َ‫م‬ُُ‫ة‬َّ‫ب‬‫َا‬‫د‬ are ُ
wrongly interpreted as "animal/creature in
both the sky and the earth. Our scholars
completely ignored the important
preposition ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ which is coming
between ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ and ُ‫ة‬َّ‫ب‬‫َا‬‫د‬ . Also they took the
meaning of ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ as "in both" to show the
living creature/animal in both the sky and
the earth because they made ُ‫ه‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ (Huma)
from the composite word ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ (Fihima) to
take the meaning of "they (two things)/ two
of them" and invented that the animal life
exists in two of them, i.e. the earth and the
sky but these infidel scholars did not think
even once that the sky is not mentioned as
a singular word. Earth is mentioned singular
but the ُِ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫او‬َ‫م‬َّ‫س‬‫ال‬ (assamawaat) is a plural of
the sky, which is “the skies”.

5. Therefore, they even broke the composite
word ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫ه‬‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬ (Fihima) and derive ُ‫ه‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ (Huma) to
insert their animal worshiping pagan
ideas in the Quran, ُ‫ه‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ (Huma) only refers
two items and can not be used as a
pronoun for more than one sky plus earth,
which becomes more than two items.
In fact ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ (Fihima) is a َُ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ (Fihim) plus Alif
Maqsurah and َُ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ (Fihim) is an
independent word which means "control of
offences". (Almaani Arabic Dictionary), like
controlled area or the controlled zone. You
can find َُ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬ (Fihim) as a single word in all
good dictionaries and lexicons.
Therefore, the actual translation of this
verse would be that:
‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫يه‬ِ‫ف‬َُّ‫ث‬َ‫ب‬ُ‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫ُو‬ ِ‫ض‬‫ر‬َ‫اْل‬َ‫ُِو‬‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫او‬َ‫م‬َّ‫س‬‫ُال‬‫ق‬‫ل‬َ‫خ‬ُِ‫ه‬ِ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫ي‬‫ُآ‬‫ن‬ِ‫م‬َ‫و‬ُُ‫ة‬َّ‫ب‬‫َا‬‫د‬ُ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬
ُ‫ِير‬‫د‬َ‫ق‬ُ‫اء‬َ‫ش‬َ‫ي‬ُ‫ا‬َ‫ذ‬ِ‫إ‬ُ‫م‬ِ‫ه‬ِ‫ع‬‫م‬َ‫ج‬ُ‫ى‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬َُ‫و‬‫ه‬َ‫و‬
(42:29) "And Whose signs are
the creation of the skies and the earth in

6. which the offences of His creature are
controlled, and He has power to put
them together when His system
requires."
So, in the light of the above there is no
physical creature or animal that exists on
other planets but life still exists above, over
and beyond our earth in different shape. I
understand that it could be
completely different to what our scholars
have told us and whatever we have heard
but this is the true interpretation of this
subject according to the own words of the
Quran.
Lastly, I appreciate those who really want to
learn the Quran from its own words ignoring
the misleading translations of our scholars.
Many thanks for your valuable time that you
have spent in the reading of this article.
