Man is Only Able to Ascend to Some Height by Means of Aircraft. How then could Someone Go and Come Back Bodily Within a Few Minutes Covering a Distance that Would Normally Take Thousands of Years?

 

According to science, whose findings you accept without question, a heavy body like the earth with its annual movement cuts a distance of about six hundred miles in one minute. In one year it covers a distance of approximately one hundred and sixty million miles. Should an All-Powerful One of Majesty, Who causes the earth to make that regular motion and revolves it like a stone in a sling, be unable to convey a human being to His Supreme Throne? Should a Wisdom which causes the heavy earth to revolve around the sun like a Mawlawi darwish through a law of Divine Lordship known as gravity be unable to raise the body of a human being like lightning to the Throne of the All-Merciful One through the ‘gravity’ of the All-Merciful One’s Mercy and the attraction of the Eternal Sun?
