Abstract

Allāh Ta‘ālā, has repeatedly invited humans to explore the secrets of the universe, understand the stages of creation, and observe them. The Creator of the cosmos has spread His countless signs as an invitation for contemplation and deep reflection. By doing so, He intends for humans to ponder over these signs, read them, and choose the path of acquiring faith through thoughtful consideration. This is why when a person observes any part of the universe, everything appears as an invitation to reflection, opening up a world of divine knowledge. This article explores the intriguing intersection of Shari'ah law, ancient philosophy, and modern scientific advancements, focusing on the ambitious notion of claiming dominion over the moon. Drawing on a comprehensive review of Shari'ah literature, this research examines the historical perspectives embedded in Islamic jurisprudence regarding celestial bodies, with a particular emphasis on the moon's significance. The study navigates through the rich tapestry of ancient philosophical traditions, unearthing the influences that have shaped Islamic thought on cosmic matters. By juxtaposing these philosophical underpinnings with contemporary scientific insights, the article illuminates the evolving dialogue between tradition and innovation within the Islamic legal framework. Central to the analysis is the examination of claims made within Shari'ah discourse regarding lunar exploration and potential human habitation. The article critically evaluates the compatibility of such assertions with prevailing scientific understandings, addressing the intricate interplay between religious doctrine and empirical knowledge.
