Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Question
I wish I can see how Allah brings life to our star system called Solar System. Because I wish to see myself in Sci-Fi.
Can I make dua for this to happen?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful and Compassionate
I hope you’re doing well, insha’Allah.
While the general call of Allah Most High is, “Call upon Me, and I will answer you,” [Quran, 40:60] it is contrary to propriety (adab) and our duty of deference and respect to Allah Most High to ask Allah for that which is normally impossible (mustahil ‘adatan). [Zakariyya al-Ansari, Talkhis al-Azhiya fi Ahkam al-Ad‘iya]
We can, however, ask for such matters in the Hereafter.
And Allah is the giver of success and facilitation.
