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 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 (ُ )ال ُّروحprogress 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 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 (ُ)دَابَّة. 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 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 ُ دَابَّةbut again the words of this verse ُاُمنُدَابَّة ِ فِي ُِه َمare ُ wrongly interpreted as "animal/creature in both the sky and the earth. Our scholars completely ignored the important preposition ِمنwhich is coming between يه َما ِ ِ فand ُ دَابَّة. Also they took the meaning of يه َما ِ ِ فas "in both" to show the living creature/animal in both the sky and the earth because they made ( هُ َماHuma) from the composite word يه َما ِ ِ( فFihima) 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 تُِ اوا َ س َم َّ ( الassamawaat) is a plural of the sky, which is “the skies”. Therefore, they even broke the composite word ( فِي ِه َماFihima) and derive ( هُ َماHuma) to insert their animal worshiping pagan ideas in the Quran, ( هُ َماHuma) 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 يه َما
ِ ِ( فFihima) is a يه َُم ِ ِ( فFihim) plus Alif Maqsurah and يه َُم ِ ِ( فFihim) is an independent word which means "control of offences". (Almaani Arabic Dictionary), like controlled area or the controlled zone. You can find يه َُم ِ ِ( فFihim) as a single word in all good dictionaries and lexicons. Therefore, the actual translation of this verse would be that: ُيه َماُ ِمنُدَابَّة ِ ِثُف َّ َُو َماُب َ ض ِ ُِواْلَرَ اوات َّ َو ِمنُآيَاتِ ِهُ َخلقُال َ س َم ُشاءُقَدِير َ َعلَىُ َجم ِع ِهمُإِذَاُيَ َُوه َو (42:29) "And Whose signs are the creation of the skies and the earth in 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.
