We should focus on what is important and prepare for the hereafter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Maulana Ousman Haye<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0645\u0627\u0644\u0643 \u064a\u0648\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u064a\u0646 (\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627\u062a\u062d\u0629: 4)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0648\u064e\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0621\u064e\u0627\u064a\u064e\u0640\u0670\u062a\u0650\u0647\u0650\u06e6 \u062e\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064f \u0671\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0640\u0670\u0648\u064e\u0670\u062a\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0671\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0628\u064e\u062b\u0651\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646 \u062f\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0629\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u062c\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0639\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0625\u0650\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064f \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u0631\u064c<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">(\u0627\u0644\u0634\u0648\u0631\u0649:29)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u064a\u064e\u0640\u0670\u0653\u0623\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064f\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0671\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0621\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627\u06df \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0640\u0654\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0627\u06df \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0634\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0646 \u062a\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062f\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0640\u0654\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0627\u06df \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u062d\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u064a\u064f\u0646\u064e\u0632\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064f \u0671\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064f\u0631\u0652\u0621\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064f \u062a\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062f\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0639\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0627 \u0671\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0671\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u063a\u064e\u0641\u064f\u0648\u0631\u064c \u062d\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064c<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">(\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0626\u062f\u0629\u060c 101)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 06765 &nbsp; Answered by: Maulana Ousman Haye &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; My students asked me about aliens.
