Q: Allah Ta'ala says in the Quraan that the earth is flat and Zul Qarnain saw the sun that it rises from dust or any thing else. But it is scientifically proven that earth is a globe or like a ball and the sun is in the sky not on earth. So how will we satisfy the non-Muslims?
Q: I always wanted to acquire the knowledge of Deen and live my life in the service of Deen. Unfortunately, until now, I have not been able to pursue Deeni studies. Currently, I am 23 years old and I don’t think I can pursue full time Deeni studies right now. So I am thinking about pursuing study and research in material science with the aim of serving Islam through this knowledge, and also with the aim of discovering solutions for some of the problems which humanity faces as a whole nowadays like global warming, pollution, lack of clean drinking water, etc.
1. Many Ahaadith mention the virtue of acquiring Deeni knowledge. If I study science, will I also receive this virtue? Will I be rewarded by Allah for studying science?
2. Should I abandon studying and earning a livelihood and instead spend my life in serving Deen?
Q: I'm curious to know what does the Qur'an say about life on other planets (it can be water, plants, anything, etc.). In the news we heard about people exploring other planets and claim they found life there, or there was life there before.
Q: How can I make clear to a non-Muslim that the earth is a stationary place according to the word of Allah and because the modern science has proved that the earth rotates around the sun as well as around its axis.
