These are the guys who went for training to be the Malaysia first astronaut but only one of them made it to space. One quite interesting issues arise when people starts questioning how do you pray and fasting in the space? why is it not possible? it is by fact that the International Space Station is orbiting earth only 90 minutes of day and night in 1 cycle. The problems is how do they actually tell when is subuh,zohor,asar,maghrib and isyak is? can fasting for 45 minutes(equivalent to 12 hours of earth time I supposed) valid and acceptable?


But when back to the view of Islam, those guys arent the first who made it out to outer space(and many more astronauts). It is written in Surah Al-Israq that Muhammad, the Prophet, is the first who make the journey, and of course with God’s willing. To sit back and to think, how big this universe is unimaginable. This Universe created by Allah is too big, far far far beyond and unreachable by any human mind.

The galaxy that we are living now, Milky Way, is one big spiral galaxy with estimated 200 to 400 millions stars and planet in it with diameter of a 100,000 light years. Distance from the sun to the center of the galaxy is about 27,700 light years, and it took 225 - 250 million years to complete an orbit cycles. Since from its creation we’ve completed around 20-25 cycles. That’s only the fact about Milky Way, and the most shocking fact is there’s thousands and millions more of bigger galaxy than Milky Way out there not yet discovered, and the size of Universe is keep on expanding. Can you imagine where are you in this world? If you can map the whole galaxy Milky Way is only a tiny tiny little dot in the map, and we human is only a super tiny tiny tiny germs and bacteria.

Why is it hard to accept the fact that god exist, the Universe is here, with all the creations including us. It has to start somewhere and it has to end somewhere.
