Assistant: Hello! How can i help you today?
User: Time travel, wormholes, portals, dimensions, time dilation, intergalactic movement etc are terms common to a man well versed in science fiction. But can a man well versed in religion make sense of them? Flipping pages of pages through canonized Islamic literature, we can’t seem to find any such words, terms or anything close to it? Then how did these terminologies suddenly become so common among the masses? A man preaching them as part of iman is completely absurd. Has too much childhood exposure to science fiction impacted the brain of a man intending to inspire people? Fitting Islam into ideas we are inspired by is nothing new. Crooks have always tried to fit religion into what’s trending (becoming apologetic) or what they are inspired by. Mutazilites, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Waheed ud Din, Javed Ahmad Ghamdi are to name a few. But Islam is not up for any inspirational interpretation. 
And of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him][Surah Hajj: 8].This article is written with an intent no more than as a well-wisher of the masses impacted by a completely alien and absurd idea, time travel. Time travel was popularized in a novel by H.G. Wells in 1895, The Time Machine. Later, in 1904, Albert Einstein through the concept of ‘special and general relativity’ hints at the possibility of time travel. With all the scientific data, time travel until now is a mere theory. It completely relies on thought experiments and hypothetical situations, mostly mentioning creation of vehicles that travel at the speed of light to transfer humans and objects to a time ahead of Earth time. In my opinion, relativity is very real and relevant too. This relevancy of relativity was made clear to me many years ago in an urgency when I had to run to a public bathroom and I found written on its door, how long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom you are on. So yes, relativity makes sense but to be able to reach a future that has not taken place yet? Or to reach another world through a magical door (portal)? To me, this is interesting in science fiction but in reality, neither has science advanced to that level nor have any religious or historic scriptures mentioned it.Recorded history and literature play an important role in understanding the past and making deductions for the future. Time travel or the ideas related to it have not been mentioned in any of historic literature except mythology, especially Hindu mythology. Mythology is no different than any fictional novel. So, time travel has always been used in fiction literature to attract an audience but none of the serious non-fiction or religious literature makes mention of it. Neither does science claim it except hypothetically. The only way to explain a man’s obsession with it is from fiction literature and movies.Now why is preaching time travel and ideas related to it as part of faith a problem? Firstly, no one should dare add strange ideas into the religion of Allah (Today, I have completed your religion for you. [5:3]) or make their own interpretation after Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has guided his ummah. The Qur’an, the life of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and our Salaf;  Sahaba, Tabi’un, Taba Tabi’un (the pious predecessors) plus 1400 years of literature of our great ulemas (scholars): Sheikh Ibn Tammiya, Imam Bukhari, Imam Ibn Jawzi, Imam Hanbal, Imam Abu Hanifa and many more, gives us a light to judge right from wrong and to adhere to Islam. How does something never mentioned in the entire history of Islam even once by any of the great personalities suddenly take birth as a part of our Iman? The Qur’an does not mention it, hadith doesn’t mention it, Sahabas don’t mention it, or the scholars in later age do not mention it. Time travel has nothing to do with our faith. If the idea is really inspiring, write a novel, not make it a religious thought. The best we can make of it is, we all are “time travelers” in that we all travel through time, one hour, one minute, one second at a time.
