If the existence of extraterrestrial life is ever truly confirmed, it would not shock Islam or destroy faith.
The Qur’an already speaks about “worlds” and living beings spread throughout the heavens and the earth:
“And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the living creatures He has dispersed throughout them both. And He is able to gather them together whenever He wills.” (42:29)
And also:
“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for people of understanding.” (3:190)
Many Islamic scholars centuries ago already considered the possibility that Allah created other forms of life in the universe. So the idea that humanity may not be the only intelligent creation does not contradict Islam.
But what is truly interesting is why the UFO and “disclosure” narrative is being pushed so heavily right now.
Coincidence? Or a distraction during a time filled with political scandals, leaks, crises, and growing public distrust?
Personally, I believe humanity is entering an era where fear, sensationalism, and psychological influence will shape information more than truth itself. That is why critical thinking matters now more than ever.
Faith should not collapse because of new discoveries. If the Creator made billions of galaxies, why do humans think they already know the limits of His creation?

@Ikhwanazis89@ikanatassa Ini juga prinsip saya sampai sekarang. Aku juga nggak nyalahin mbak Ika. Tentunya nggak mudah kalau sudah ditangisi keluarga seperti itu. Cuma bisa berdoa semoga masalah lekas selesai.
Went down the rabbit hole on this. Your brain treats a physical book like a landscape. It builds a spatial map of the text, the same way it maps trails, rooms, and city blocks. When you scroll on a phone, that map breaks apart.
Seven large-scale research reviews and direct brain scans confirm what you already feel.
A 2023 study in PLOS ONE attached brain-activity sensors to children’s heads while they read the same text on paper and on screen. Paper reading produced fast brain waves, the pattern linked to focused attention. Screen reading shifted the brain into slow waves, the pattern linked to mind wandering and daydreaming. Same kids. Same words. Measurably different brain states.
A separate 2022 study from Showa University in Japan scanned the front of the brain, the area that manages focus and comprehension, during phone versus paper reading. Smartphones sent that region into overdrive, meaning the brain was straining just to keep up with basic processing. Paper reading produced a moderate load that triggered natural deep breathing, which helped regulate brain function and sustain focus. The phone suppressed that breathing pattern entirely.
Since 2017, researchers have published seven major reviews combining hundreds of individual studies. Six of seven reached the same conclusion: people understand less on screens. A 2018 review of 54 studies and 170,000+ participants, literally titled “Don’t throw away your printed books,” found paper outperformed screens across the board for non-fiction. A 2024 follow-up with 49 more studies confirmed it. The gap has grown steadily every year since 2001. Being a “digital native” doesn’t help.
The best explanation is how your brain tracks where you are. Your short-term memory can only juggle about 7 things at once. A physical book gives you constant location cues: the weight shifting from right hand to left, where a paragraph sits on the page, how thick the remaining pages feel. Your brain hands off the “where am I in this text?” job to those physical signals, leaving more room for actually understanding what you’re reading. On a phone, every screen looks identical. Your brain has to track position and process meaning at the same time, and something gives.
A Norwegian eye-tracking study analyzing 25,000+ individual eye movements found screen readers processed text more shallowly. The students had no idea they were reading differently.
In 2019, nearly 200 reading scientists from 30+ countries signed an open letter warning that screen reading was degrading deep comprehension. Since then, Scandinavian countries, among the most digitized school systems on Earth, have started putting physical books back in classrooms.
Semalam, khatib tarawih ceramah yg bikin gue overthinking..
Gimana kalau selama ini kita tuh cuma lagi pakai headset VR canggih? Dan realita yang kita lihat sekarang hanya sekadar "Simulasi"? 🤯
Dan saat kita mati, VR-nya dilepas, lalu kita terbangun dan menyadari... "Oh, ini toh kehidupan yang SESUNGGUHNYA"
"Kehidupan dunia ini tidak lain hanyalah senda gurau dan permainan. Sesungguhnya negeri akhirat itulah kehidupan yang sebenarnya, seandainya mereka mengetahui" QS Al Ankabut 64
QS Al Ankabut itu nyebut jelas banget bahwa kehidupan dunia itu cuma GAME, kayak kita itu ada di dalam game RPG (Role-Playing Game) atau Virtual Reality.
Kita seolah-olah adalah player yang lagi login ke dalam game bernama "Dunia". Kita diturunkan ke server ini dengan satu Main Quest yang jelas: Beribadah, jadi manusia yang bermanfaat, dan ngumpulin bekal buat Endgame.
Tapi, instead nyelesain Main Quest, kebanyakan dari kita malah habis-habisan ngerjain Side Questnya. Side Quest-nya emang didesain super menggiurkan. Numpuk harta sampai triliunan, ngejar validasi sosial, gila jabatan, pamer kemewahan.
Kita habis-habisan grinding sampai lupa sama Main Quest-nya. Padahal waktu main (umur) kita di game ini ada limit-nya.
Terus suka kesel kan ngelihat orang jahat, licik, penindas, tapi hidupnya kelihatan "menang" dan enak banget di dunia?
Nah, sadar nggak sih, bisa jadi mereka itu cuma NPC (Non-Player Character) atau obstacle yang emang di-setting buat jadi ujian rintangan buat kita para Player?
Kemenangan orang-orang jahat itu semu. Mereka cuma "kelihatannya" aja menang, tapi ya itu simulasi aja.
Saat timer kita habis (mati), headset VR ini bakal dicopot paksa. Di momen kita "terbangun" di dimensi yang sesungguhnya, semua harta, mobil mewah, dan score duniawi tadi nilainya hangus jadi NOL BESAR.
Sekaya apapun di game, yang dihitung ya pencapaian kita di Main Quest kan? Sia-sia banget kalau waktu yang dikasih malah habis buat ngejar hal-hal fana yang nggak bisa dibawa log out.
Jadi tamparan keras sih buat diri sendiri pas lagi tarawih semalam. Kadang kita terlalu serius mikirin Side Quest sampai lupa kalau ini cuma mampir bentar.
Fokus ke Main Quest, Players. Jangan sampai pas VR-nya dilepas, kita cuma bisa nyesel karena salah prioritas.
Semoga di sisa waktu Ramadhan yang masih singkat ini bisa kita manfaatkan dengan sebaik-baiknya.
I verified this and it’s true
“Lab-grown chocolate is coming to shelves in 2027. Oreo, Cadbury and Toblerone are already funding the Israeli biotech producing it because a lab is cheaper than a farm”
“Cadbury has been quietly replacing your chocolate — This dairy milk isn't legal chocolate in 27 countries, the cocoa butter was replaced with vegetable fat, a cheap blend of 6 industrial oils. What remains is diluted with polyglycerol — Soon even that gets replaced, you'll be eating cells grown in a pharmaceutical tank”
Cadbury Dairy Milk (in the UK and many markets) has included vegetable fats (like palm and shea) alongside cocoa butter for years. UK/EU regulations allow up to 5% non-cocoa vegetable fats in chocolate if it meets minimum cocoa solids (20%) and other standards.
In America standards are much lower
- For milk chocolate specifically: Only 10% chocolate liquor, 12% milk solids, and 3.39% milk fat are required

@Wanderingarou16@thettabbycat@fxmario Saya juga pernah kejadian lebih bayar, jadinya harus ke kantor pajak terus dibantu sama petugasnya otak atik supaya jadi nol. 😅
Back in May 2024 before the U.S elections a Beijing-based historian named Jiang Xueqin predicted THREE massive things that sounded insane at the time... but two have already hit:
1. Trump will win the 2024 elections.
2. The United States will go to war against Iran.
3. The United States will LOSE this war which will forever change the global order.
Sebenarnya busana muslim bagus yang dibuat dari bahan katun/natural gitu juga ada, cuma modelnya relatif sederhana dalam bentuk abaya. Salah satunya dari brand Bellaluna yang pakai tencel. Harganya rata-rata 200-300an. Aku sudah punya dua. Sila cek di shopee.
setuju si, aku aja kaget lihat harga raya collection skrg sampe nyentuh di 500-1jt an😔☝🏻
THAT'S WHY.... aku tim beli baju raya yg juga bisa dipakai daily, so sekalian buat jangka panjang gt👍🏻
Memang mahal banget. Apalagi untuk penulis yang butuh konsumsi buku dulu sebelum menulis. Makanya kehadiran perpustakaan itu penting banget. Aku bela-belain tiap dua minggu/sebulan sekali pinjam.
sebenernya minat baca buku di Indonesia menurut ku tinggi banget tapi banyak yang akhirnya gak lanjut hobi ini karena buku di sini emang mahal bgt💔 bayangin aja buku import itu harganya bisa setengah juta dimana buat kita itu bisa buat makan 1-2 minggu ((sedih bgt))
@hisahishine@uzhiefreedom@yourmathsphere Yang ini, bukan? Kisah Nabi Musa & kaum Jabbarin (raksasa) di QS. Al-Ma'idah: 20-26.
Saat diminta jihad masuk ke Tanah Suci, Bani Israil takut & membangkang: "Pergilah engkau bersama Tuhanmu & berperanglah, kami di sini saja." Mereka dihukum tersesat di Padang Tih 40 thn.
Pembaca itu manusia, bertumbuh, belajar, dan berubah. Bacaanmu yg lalu itu bagian dari perkembangan dirimu sbg pembaca. Nggak ada pembaca yg mulai baca lgs baca Madilog atau Das Kapital. Sekali lagi, aku dah sering bgt ngomong, YANG PENTING BACA BUKU! Udah, itu aja cukup.
@KucengTerbanggg Pernah di halte transjakarta perpusnas, ketemu ibu-ibu minta dibelikan roti, mana dia yang milih lagi rasanya. Aku bilang, aku belikan tapi sesuka aku. Eh dia melipir menjauh. 🤣🤣🤣
