You will never leave earth -
- except by a great power..
We have liftoff for Monday’s Pictures in the News as the space shuttle Endeavour begins its 14-day mission. Commander Mark Kelly is leading a crew of six on the shuttle’s its final planned mission, delivering the $2-billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and other supplies to the International Space Station...
But what does this have to do with Islam?
Good question.
Take a close look at the multi-billion dollar space shuttle as it takes off from its launching pad from NASA. See the billowing smoke? The tremendous fire jetting out from the bottom?
That is some very expensive fuel - they buy it by the ton (not the gallon, not the litre - but by the TON).
And the power needed to take this ship into space is a very 'mighty power', indeed.
Look again - closer...
How is it that the Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, so accurately describes this event?
Or does in say something about humans and jinn never being able to leave the atmosphere of earth, except by "Sultan" (a mighty power)?
Check out www.AllahsQuran.com/read and click on chapter 55, then look for verse 33 -
Yaa Ma 'shara Al-Jinni Wa al- "insi 'Ini Astat'tum 'An Tanfudhu Min 'Aqtari As-Samawati Wa al 'Ardhi Fanfudhu Laa Tanfudhuna 'illa bi-Sultan.
Translation: O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by Great Power or Authority [from Allah].
