Employment of space in the Prophetic tradition and its jurisprudential applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Prophetic tradition was deeply engaged in exploring and utilizing space, unveiling its scientific truths, elucidating its cosmic mysteries, and dispelling misconceptions surrounding it. It has been a subject of profound interest for scholars throughout history, as Allah has provided numerous evidences and verses about space, inviting mankind to explore and understand its nature, sciences, and knowledge, at a time when astronomy was often regarded as mere mythology, folklore, or superstition. From the Prophetic Hadiths, scholars have derived various applications and insights concerning space, utilizing knowledge about planets, stars, and celestial phenomena. Allah, in His infinite wisdom, has created the universe, its celestial bodies, and cosmic laws in perfect harmony, offering manifold secrets and utilities for His creation. Upon studying the Hadiths found in the books of Sunnah, we discover noble prophetic guidance on utilizing the verses and cosmic entities placed by Allah in the heavens. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) utilized these as signs to guide Muslims in acts of worship and legal rulings prescribed by Allah. He also clarified signs related to the ripening of fruits, crop safety, and indications of the approaching Hour and the end of life on Earth.
