{Say, [O Muhammad], “Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent.”} [Surat Al-‘ankabut 29:20].

In the Qur’an, Allah tells us at many places about His power that created this universe and the celestial bodies that travel through it.

Allah mentions His perfect ability and infinite authority in the holy Qur’an. He’s the one Who has raised the heavens without pillars by His permission and order. He, by His order and power, has elevated the heavens high above the earth, distant and far away from reach.

The universe is one of the most fascinating topics we come across. The possibilities that the space travel brings impress the humankind. This includes the colonization of other planets and the potential discovery of sentient life like our own across the universe.
