Muslim leaders issue a fatwa against anyone living on MARS as there is 'no righteous reason' to be there
Clerics in the UAE have deemed a colony on Mars as being un-Islamic
They argue that trying to live there would be akin to committing suicide
Killing oneself is strictly forbidden in Islam, according to the Quran???
The ruling came after Mars One announced a 2025 mission to Mars
So far around 500 Saudis and Arabs have volunteered to take part in it
A Fatwa has been issued against living on Mars by clerics who say that trying to set up home there would be un-Islamic.
The fatwa – or ruling – was issued by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE) in the UAE after the Mars One organisation announced that it would try and establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.
The committee argued that an attempt to dwell on the planet would be so hazardous as to be suicidal and killing oneself is not permitted by Islam.
According to Khaleejtimes.com it said: ‘Such a one-way journey poses a real risk to life, and that can never be justified in Islam. There is a possibility that an individual who travels to planet Mars may not be able to remain alive there, and is more vulnerable to death.’

The astronauts, the committee said, would end up dying for no ‘righteous reason’ and would face the same punishment in the afterlife as someone who’d committed suicide.
The committee, led by Professor Dr Farooq Hamada, said: ‘Protecting life against all possible dangers and keeping it safe is an issue agreed upon by all religions and is clearly stipulated in verse 4/29 of the Holy Quran: Do not kill yourselves or one another. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.’
The GAIAE has issued around two million Fatwas through its Official Fatwa Centre since its inception in 2008.
The multi-billion pound Mars One mission hopes to establish a human colony on Mars in 2025.
Its website says: ‘The Mars One mission plan consists of cargo missions and unmanned preparation of a habitable settlement, followed by human landings.
‘In the coming years, a demonstration mission, communication satellites, two rovers and several cargo missions will be sent to Mars. These missions will set up the outpost where the human crew will live and work.’
Over 200,000 people, including 500 Saudis and Arabs, have applied to take part in the missions so far.
In December Mars One short-listed 1,058 people to take part in trials for the ambitious project.
Co-founder Bas Lansdorp said: ‘We’re extremely appreciative and impressed with the sheer number of people who submitted their applications.
'However, the challenge with 200,000 applicants is separating those who we feel are physically and mentally adept to become human ambassadors on Mars from those who are obviously taking the mission much less seriously. We even had a couple of applicants submit their videos in the nude!’
Mars lies on average 141.6million miles from the Sun and has an average temperature of -85F (-65C). Its atmosphere is desperately thin - one per cent of Earth's pressure - and is 95 per cent carbon dioxide.

But if a Jew should be on Mars it would be a muslims duty to go to Mars and blow himself up just to kill the Jew.
PS: I have absolutely no desire to go to Mars.

The qurananimals are so idiotic its hard to believe their brain knows how to send signals to breathe

Didn't Christophaza Mohammad Columbussain discover Mars on his way to discovering America?
-
500 volunteered for the flight to Mars?
Why couldn't it have been on a flight to the Sun?

As exciting as it sounds I don't think it would be a good idea to go on the first wave because all physical dangers aside, there'd be nothing to do there. You couldn't even go outside for a stroll, and you can forget about having access to any new games, music, or movies. I think that kind of isolation and boredom might drive people insane.

Mars should be used as a penal colony for terrorists and murderers. It would be much more difficult to escape from mars than from rikers island...

I was about to move to mars. Sure glad I read this first. Wouldn't want to lose my 72 virgins or 28 boy servants.

Muslims would have less of a problem of living on Mars than Jews. Both would have the problem of a lack of Sunrise/Sunset on Earth. The Jews would have the problem of lacking the cycles of the Moon and a solar year. Muslims would only lack the cycles of the Moon because seasons don't matter in Islam. That's why their holidays drift throughout the year. Judaism is also Land of Israel based. Muslims on the other hand say everywhere should be Muslim land, not just Saudi Arabia.

Mars does have two moons although I suppose that only complicates the problem.

There is life on mars. I will take the secret agent option and find mileena like the Total Recall film.

Pluto may be perhaps the best place for the muslamics. They all should go there from the earth and sink therein.

How would they get there? Space camels?

The same way the "Old Negro Space Program" did. Or they could ask their fellow Muslim Elijah Mohammad how he got on the Mother Ship. :laugh:
