The Spaceship in the Bible:

There was a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
So, the angels ascend to heaven on a stairway.
Genesis 28:12
He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind after the sudden appearance of chariot of fire and horses of fire
2 Kings 2:11
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

The Spaceship in the Quran:

The Quran predicts that the Astronauts (Space-Travelers) are those who do not believe in Quran, They achieve space traveling, they will appear to us. Astronauts inside the Spaceship have couches on which they recline (lie back). Moreover the Quran says that the Spaceship has doors and Silver will be used in the Spaceship; also, gold and other additional stuff will be used in the Spaceship.

The Ignorant Arabs at the time of revelation of Quran thought that the big and important man is the one who is very wealthy and powerful.
They thought that such a big man is the one who deserves to be the prophet of Allah. Mohammad was not as wealthy as some famous men at the time of revelation of Quran; hence, He does not deserve to be the Prophet of Allah.
This was the way they thought.
Allah answered them by a simple fact; it is Allah's will to make some people wealthy and others poor. Allah makes mankind different in many ways like his power, activity, education, health, wealth, mentality etc.
The reason for such difference is to make all of them cooperate and help each other to compensate and fulfill the difference between them.
We all need teachers, farmers, engineers, medical doctors etc. Allah does not make all of us similar, otherwise all of us would be farmers or medical doctors; in such case life would be impossible to carry on.
If Allah makes us different, then why you people deny the fact that He has the right to choose His Prophet?
This was the Quranic answer to the ignorant Arabs.
Then the Quran says that, Allah could make all of the disbelievers having spaceship but he would not because His will is to create people different from each other.
Then the Quran gives the few descriptive outlines for any Spaceship.

In my article: Bible versus Quran versus Sciences, Array (47) Space Travel: Straight or geodesics? We knew the significance of the verb "Araga", which indicate ascending to the space in Geodesics line not in straight lines.
The noun of the verb "Araga" is "Miraj" and its pleural form is "Ma-arej".
"Ma-arej" is mentioned twice in the Quran like that:
Surah 70:1- 4
SHAKIR: one demanding, demanded the chastisement which must befall
PICKTHAL: a questioner questioned concerning the doom about to fall
YUSUFALI: a questioner asked about a penalty to befall-

SHAKIR: the unbelievers-- there is none to avert it--
PICKTHAL: upon the disbelievers, which none can repel,
YUSUFALI: the unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-

SHAKIR: from Allah, the lord of the ways of ascent (maAraga)
PICKTHAL: from Allah, lord of the ascending stairways (maAraga)
YUSUFALI: (a penalty) from Allah, lord of the ways of ascent (maAraga).

SHAKIR: to him ascend (Araga) the angels and the spirit in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years
PICKTHAL: (whereby) the angels and the spirit ascend (Araga)
Unto him in a day whereof the span is fifty thousand years.
YUSUFALI: the angels and the spirit ascend (Araga) unto him in a day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:

When talking about how the Angels ascend unto Allah, the Quran says that they "Taarog" (the present tense of "Araga") unto Him in a day that measure fifty thousand years. On the other hand, the Bible says that there was a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Herein the other use of the word "Ma-arej"
Here again we will notice that the three famous English translation of the Quran miss-translate the word "Ma-arej".
"Ma-arej" is translated as stairs or stair-ways.
Stair in Arabic is "Sollam" not "Ma-arej"; and linguistically speaking there is a big difference between "Sollam" not "Ma-arej". "Ma-arej" means to go up and ascend unto space in Geodesics line.

Verse 43:33 describe the house of the disbelievers in their "Ma-arej", this "Ma-arej" house has a roof made in silver. Astronauts (Space-Travelers) who are inside these "Ma-arej" will ascend in space and will appear.
Herein, we have a fulfilled prophecy.
Astronauts (Space-Travelers):
Are the disbelievers (do not believe in Quran)
They achieve space traveling
They will appear to us (we all see them through TV channels)
Silver will be used in their "Ma-arej" houses (Spaceship).
I know that NASA use silver tubing in their water supply systems for space flights but I do not know if silver is used as a roof for the Spaceship but certainly it would one day.


Surah 43: 33
SHAKIR: and were it not that all people had been a single nation, we would certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the beneficent Allah (to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs ("Ma-arej") by which they ascend (and appear (
PICKTHAL: and were it not that mankind would have become one community, we might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs ("Ma-arej") (of silver) whereby to mount (ascend and appear).
YUSUFALI: and were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life, we would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against (Allah) most gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair-ways ("Ma-arej") on which to go up (ascend and appear).

Another fact about the Spaceship:
The Spaceship has doors
Astronauts inside the Spaceship have couches on which they recline (lie back).
When we see People inside the Spaceship, they are lie back because there is no gravity over there.

Surah 43: 34

SHAKIR: and the doors of their houses and the couches (sofa-like), on which they recline (lie back),
PICKTHAL: and for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline,
YUSUFALI: and (silver) doors to their houses, and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline,


Also, gold and other additional stuff will be used in the Spaceship.

Surah 43: 35

SHAKIR: and (other) embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but provision of this world's life and the hereafter is with your lord only for those who guard (against evil).
PICKTHAL: and ornaments of gold. yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. and the hereafter with your lord would have been for those who keep from evil.
YUSUFALI: and also adornments of gold. But all this were nothing but conveniences of the present life: the hereafter, in the sight of thy lord is for the righteous.

All of these embellishments, power and authority in this life are nothing when compared with the embellishments and happiness in the eternal life.

Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 48); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "? And which book preceded the modern Sciences?
