Chapter: 33, Verse: 72 - The of AhlulBayt presented to the creations.
من جامع البزنطي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عليهالسلام يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَا مِنْ آدَمِيٍّ وَلَا إِنْسِيٍّ وَلَا جِنِّيٍّ وَلَا مَلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ الْحُجَجِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللهُ خَلْقاً إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَرَضَ وَلَايَتَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَاحْتَجَّ بِنَا عَلَيْهِ فَمُؤْمِنٌ بِنَا وَكَافِرٌ جَاحِدٌ حَتَّى ( السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبالِ ) الْآيَةَ
From the book Jami of al-Bazanti, from Sulayman bin Khalid who said,
Abu Abdillah Imam Sadiq (ع) said, “There is no thing, no human being, no jinn, no angels in the heavens but that we are the proofs (Hujjah) upon them. And Allah has not created any creation except that He presented Our Mastership (Wilayat) to them and presented argument against them through Us, hence through Us they are believers (Momin) or rejecting disbelievers (kafir) and the Wilayat was even presented to the heavens, the earth and the mountains" (*33:72)
*Note: This is referring to the following verse:
إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا
Surely We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to be bear it and feared from it, and man undertook it; surely he is unjust, ignorant" (33:72)
Kitab al-Sarair, ibn Idris al-Hilli, Vol. 3, Pg. 576
Imam al-Baqir [ع] said,
Do you think that Allah has created only
this earth, and He has not created any other creation? On the contrary, by Allah, the Almighty Allah has created one million worlds and one milion Adams and you are from the last worlds and the last Adams
Al Khisal.
Abu Al-Hassan (ع) say that:
'Allah(azwj) has Created this Domain of green aquamarine. It is from its greenery that the sky appears as such'.
I(Narrator) said, 'And what is the Domain?'
He (ع) said: 'The veil. By Allah(azwj), behind that (veil) are seventy thousand worlds, more numerous that the number of the human beings, and the Jinn, and all of them curse that one and that one( & ).'
Basaair Al Darajaat - P10 CH 14 - H7
Imam Abu Abdullah(ع)
'Behind this sun of yours there are forty suns in which are numerous creatures, and that behind this moon of yours there are forty moons in which are numerous creatures. They do not know whether Allah (azwj) Created Adam (pull ads) or not. He(azwj) has Inspired them with an Inspiration, so they send curses upon that one and that one'(Abubakr & Omar).
Basaair Al Darajaat - P10 CH 14 - H3
Jaber asked, "Are their Human beings in the stars? You have said just now that each star is a collection of heavenly bodies."
Ja'far as-Sadeq (ع) replied, "I cannot say that there are human beings in other worlds, but I can say that there are living beings, whom we cannot see because of the great distance between us."
Maghz-e Motafakker Jehan Shi'ah, Kawkab ‘Ali Mirza translation, Page 134
Jaber said, "What is the proof that there are living beings in other worlds?"
Ja'far as s-Sadeq (ع) replied, "It is my belief that Allah, Who has created the Universe, knows everything. In His Book, the Holy Qur'an, He has mentioned the name of Jinn. They are living beings, which cannot be seen. Perhaps the Jinn, who are in other worlds, may be like us."
Maghz-e Motafakker Jehan Shi'ah, Kawkab 'Ali Mirza translation, Page 134
Imam Sadiq (ع):
"Perhaps you think God has not created a humanity other than you. No! I swear to God that He has created thousands upon thousands of mankinds and you are the last among them."
"Like this world there are 70,000 other planets with each of their peoples believing they are alone in the universe."
"I cannot say that there are human beings in other worlds, but I can say that there are living beings, whom we cannot see because of the great distance between us."
-Bihar al Anwar, vol 14, p 79
The term "Al-Alameen" in verse "All praise belongs to Allah Lord of all the worlds.
Holy Quran - {1:2}
In Tafsir Nemuneh it says:
this verse indicates the existence of several kinds of living beings in the heavens although scientist have not yet been able to prove this with certainty and they vaguely say life on other planets does exist, yet in the Quran this reality has been expressed explicitly; that there are also an abundant amount of living creatures in the vastness of the skies
Tafsir Nemuneh - Volume 20, Pages 436-439
"Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and whatever creatures He has scattered in them and He is able to gather them whenever He wishes.
Holy Quran (42:29}
In the commentary of the verse, Allameh Tabataba'ie (May Allah have mercy on his soul) says:
"the apparent meaning of this verse is that there are living creatures (Dawab) in the heavens similar to those on earth...
Al-Mizan - Volume 18, Page 58
Imam Baqir (ع) said to me one night whilst I was in his presence, and he looked towards the sky.
He(as) said: 'O Abu Hamza! This is a dome(earth) of our father Adam(ع), and Allah(azwj) has thirty-nine others (similar ones) for those creatures who have not disobeyed Allah even for the blink of an eye.
Al Kafi/ 8
Imam Ali (ع) said:
These stars which are in the sky are like cities similar to the cities on earth, every city with another city (every star with another star) is connected by pillars of light
Safinatul Bahar: Volume 2, Page 574 Word Entry "Najm" (narrated from the commentary of Ali Ibn Ibrahim)
And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and what He has spread forth in both of them of living beings; and when He pleases He is all-powerful to gather them together."
[surat ash-Shura (42): verse 29]
Agha Mahdi Pouya says:
Life is not confined to the earth. It is indicated in this verse that life in some form or other is existing in the millions of heavenly bodies scattered through space. The Almighty who created such countless beings has surely the power to bring them together when the trumpet is blown.
The sixth Holy Imam, Imam Ja'far as-Sadeq (ع) has said:
"Perhaps you think God has not created a humanity other than you. No! I swear to God that He has created thousands upon thousands of mankinds and you are the last among them."
Behar al-Anwar, volume 14, page 79
Imam Ja'far as-Sadeq (ع) replied "Like this world there are 70,000 other planets with each of their peoples believing they are alone in the universe."
Behar al-Anwar, volume 14, page 79
Safar narrates from Imam Jafar e Sadiq(ع) that Hazrat Ali(as) has said. There is a city of Allah on the rear of the West, by name Ja Balqa. There are people of 70,000 Faiths (Ummats) living there. The population of every faith is equal to the entire population of this world. They never ever indulge in any sins or misdeeds. They dont have to do do any work other than uttering curses on the enemies of the Ahl al Bayt!"
