Alien Life & Extraterrestrials

Are we alone in the universe? And what if certain religious accounts referred to beings and civilizations belonging to other worlds?

The possibility of extraterrestrial life fascinates humanity.

Modern astronomical discoveries have revealed the existence of many planets around other stars.

But the question of their habitability and of the existence of other civilizations remains open.

In the twenty-fifth Door of The Goal of the Wise, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) examines this question on the basis of religious traditions.

Other worlds in the Scriptures

The chapter mentions in particular the visions of the prophet Ezekiel and the accounts concerning Dhul-Qarnayn.

The author considers that certain ancient passages might refer to realities beyond the known earthly world.

This interpretation proposes a cosmological reading of religious texts.

It differs from traditional historical and theological readings.

The limits of our knowledge

The immensity of the universe naturally leads us to wonder about the existence of other forms of life.

But possibility does not constitute proof.

The book explores correspondences between ancient accounts and the idea of extraterrestrial civilizations, though these parallels cannot be regarded as scientific confirmations.

Humanity within a vaster creation

The central theme of the chapter goes beyond the mere search for extraterrestrial beings.

It questions the place of humanity in creation.

Why assume that all life must necessarily resemble ours?

Why limit the possibilities of divine creation to what we know?

These questions invite humility.

Conclusion — Is the universe more inhabited than we imagine?

The twenty-fifth Door proposes rereading certain religious accounts in the light of the possible existence of other worlds.

What if our planet were only a small part of a much vaster story?
