MUSLIMS: About Ghosts & UFOs?
I am just curious as to what Muslims think/believe about Ghosts and UFOs. Some cultures have interesting views. Personally I do not believe there are ghosts.

To 'love you all' im assuming your not Muslim, because your information is actually wrong in almost everyway.
and no, we (Muslims) do not beleive in Ghosts and UFOS. we do however believe in a creation called Jinn, who were made of a smokeless fire.
angelss are made from light, humans from clay/dirt, and jinn from smokeless fire.
like angels, we cannot see them.
Angels, are all believers and worship Allah. Jinn on the other hand are like humans, they have free will so you will see some believer jinn and some disbeliever jinns.
they like dirty places like bathrooms,etc. and we believe that they can possess you.
however, the Quran and Hadith have specifically told us verses and supplications to say in order to protect ourselves from evil.

Muslims believe in ghosts and they call them " Arvah" .
They believe that when someone dies they will enter a temporary world called the "barzakh" made of seven layers. You will live in this world and you will still have ways for evolution. the bottom layers are for bad people , top ones for the good .
This evolution goes on until the end of the world or the judgement day .
Most people will go to heaven ultimately. But they will have a hell evolving in the barzakh because the time scale is different . for instance for a simple sin you might have to stay a hundred years in the lowest layer then evolve to a higher layer .
So it is better not to sin or at least try to avoid it in this world .
You can see some photos in google if you search ghosts or apparition photos . Some have actually appeared in photos !
Searching for "seance" in google might give you some better ideas about ghosts .

Ghosts, no. a minimum of no longer in my view. so some distance as UFOs.... Are you speaking approximately alien spacecrafts? because of the fact "alien deliver" is the technical term incredibly some scientists use for something that flies and has yet to be pointed out. If a airplane from Africa is entering your airspace unscheduled and you will't confirm the place it rather is from, it rather is an unidentified, flying merchandise. you do no longer understand if it rather is a airplane, a chopper, or a missile. SO... technically they do exist.

well, we do beleive in jinns that can make themselves look like ghosts or even people etc.
If there is life out there, there is no problem for me beleiving in it because Prophet Muhammed was a mercy for the 'worlds'.
