Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some who claim to seek knowledge say that the meaning of the saying of the Exalted,[Ash-Shuraa 42:29], is that there are extraterrestrial beings. He says regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, "And He is Able to gather them whenever He wills," that there are extraterrestrial beings or something similar, and that Allah the Exalted will either make us ascend to them, or they will descend to us, or we will meet in the middle. Is this statement correct? Is there anything new in it?
Answer:
Whenever He wills, but we demand evidence from them. If they bring evidence, otherwise it is a lie. Nothing is said in these matters except with evidence from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
