Signs of the Quran - Astronomy

From the second verse in the Quran it becomes clear that there are many worlds, meaning life forms, not only carbon based life. Alemeen are thinking and autonomous creatures, such as man. All scientists agree that there must be other intelligent life in the eternally big universe. It must not necessarily be carbon based like ours. Scientists know that carbon based life as it exists on earth (see Biology) has only come into existence quite recently in the history of the universe, some 1.5-2 billion years ago (see Universe & Space, Age) on our planet.

"And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke:"

Surah Ar-Rahman Surah 55 Ayah 15

"We created man from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;"And the Jinn race We had created before from the fire of a scorching wind."

Surah Al-Hijr Surah 15 Ayah 26/27

When cellular tissue of a multi-cellular organism burns like in an exothermic reaction (out of its own energy) i.e. dry wood, coal, or oil, smoke and carbon particles are released. This is also the case during an endothermic reaction, when burning corpses with fuel, such as in a crematorium, These are fallout of an incomplete burning, such as ashes. But when electricity or electromagnetic waves flow/s, there is no such fallout or smoke. One spectrum of electromagnetic waves is light, other is X-ray. Magnetic fields are an organised form of matter and a result of electricity.

"Praise be to Allah Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth Who made the angels messengers with wings two or three or four (Pairs): He adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things."

Surah Fatiha Surah 35, Ayahs 1

(Angels are known to be pure light and have no free will but to serve God and jinns are "fire free of smoke" acting out of their own will, like us.)

"Behold! We said to the angels "Bow down to Adam": they bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns and he broke the Command of his Lord."

Surah Al-Kahf Surah 18 Ayahs 50

"From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil) who withdraws (after his whisper) (The same) who whispers into the hearts of mankind Among Jinns and among Men."

Surah An-Nas Surah 114 Ayah 4-6

Our thoughts, which are based on the flow of small currents along our neurones, are quite capable of a life of their own, an imagination. Jinns are known to "whisper into the hearts" and Satan (Iblis) is such a jinn, a spirit. Waves, currents and magnetic fields are abundant in the universe and are recognised not only as light, but also as many other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the senses of man. These types of energies are alive, influential and important.
