Lesson one hundred thirty seven :Inhabitants of stars
Imam Ali( A. S. )says:
هذِهِ النُّجُومُ الَّتى فِى السَّماءِ مَدائِنٌ مِثْلُ الْمَدائِنِ الَّتى فِى الْأَرْضِ مَرْبُوطَةٌ كُلُّ مَدِينَةٍ الى عَمُودٍ مِنْ نُورٍ
Translation
These stars in the heaven are cities like the cities of earth, each city of them is connected( with the other cities )through a column of light..
Brief description
It is very selfish to suppose that our earth is the only inhabitable sphere and millions of celestial spheres are all unutilized, silent and without any inhabitant.
Today, the scientists have made calculations on the existence of life conditions in the celestial spheres and are sure that millions or hundred millions of these spheres have some inhabitants, and most probably many of them may enjoy more developed civilizations and several times superior than civilization of earth inhabitants because life has been started thereon thousands or millions of years before the earth.
Above tradition is one of the scientific miracles of Imam Ali( A. S. )which he has mentioned in ٤١ centuries ago.
