"Wait a minute," you're probably saying to yourself, "I didn't even know Neil Armstrong was a Muslim."
Never happened, says Armstrong.
He never said "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky," either. But you knew that.

I THINK THIS IS CORRECT THAT NEIL ARMSTRONG HEARED THE VOICE OF LAAH HO AKBAR (ALLAH IS GREAT) ON MOON AND WHEN RETURNED AND HEARED THE SAME NEAR A MUSLIM MOSQUE HE WAS ASTRONISHED AND TURN TO MUSLIM.
that’s true
Of course, that’s one of the miracle of Allah
If theists cared about evidence, there’d be no theists (see the first answer).
@ Zahid and Bette: It’s amazing how the laws that govern simple logic completely elude you. This alone must be truth to the existence of a Higher Being.
Neal arm strong said him self that he is a Muslim
Neil Armstrong indeed did hear the words, Alluhu Akbar _ Allah (God) is great. Ofcourse, the West, as we know them to be against Islam, will try their utmost to make sure the world hears the opposite story… I am a proud Muslim and Islam is the perfect way of living.
Muslim..nt muslim..azan..no azan..hmm,i knw we muslims want so much to believe he is a muslim,but think about it…if it is yes,why should we boast,that victory is for mankind nt only for certain people..if it is no,the world would make muslims look ridiculous,claiming the untrue..so,keep it down when it concerns a personal life of others..
Ummm, that being space, how can he ‘hear’ things?
SUBHANALLAH, THIS IS THE PROOF TO BE A MUSLIM. THIS IS THE NATURLITY OF ALLAH.
THIS ONE IS THE BESTEST EVIDENCE OF ALLAH NO ONE CAN DISOBEY THIS,ONE WHO WILL DISOBEY WILL BE THE EVIL
OUR ISLAM WAS THE PERFECT RELIGION, IT IS &IT WILL BE FOREVER AT THE END OF THE WORLD…………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……..!!.
I dont belive that he had heard somthing…..if he heard does it mean that god is arab..haha so the arab have created everything…..seek knowledge till you find the truth dont make stories in your mind
Wow, the fail. It is strong here.
Armstrong was a Deist. He did not subscribe to organised religion. If any of you took two minutes to look at say, oh, Wikipedia, you would know this. But I guess you don’t want your fantasies shattered…
Armstrong can’t have heard the words ‘Allahu Akbar’ on the moon as he never went to the moon at all. It was all a fake.
The religious, as usual, trying to justify their preposterous beliefs ascribe comments never made by said person.
“Ummm, that being space, how can he ‘hear’ things?”
When the voices are only inside your own head you can hear anything you want to hear, no soundwaves needed. You can make up a whole lot of stuff that way.
when i heard news about”niel armstrong” heard sound of azaan in the moon the i am definitly said he was converted into islam religion, bcoz islam is a clean religion compare to others religion, i am very proud to myself that i am being a muslim, and i will try to maintain our effort to expand islam religion in the various parts of the world
I hear the allah akhbar every day.
Am I a muslim hahah
May the God of Jacob, Moses, and Abraham continue to bless Israel now forever and destroy their sworn enemies…
“May the God of Jacob, Moses, and Abraham continue to bless Israel now forever and destroy their sworn enemies…” that would be the God of Jews, Christians and Muslims. Same God…different understanding
let the people say anything, you multiply worship and devoted to allah that day at the end of the day we can get the heaven allah
Guys don’t fight.
If Neil Armstrong is a Muslim then is ok. (for believers)
If he is not a Muslim then its ok too. (for unbelievers)
Because Allah is Above ALL.
Allah is one and a unique being.
Allah is Eternal.
The Allah does not take or give birth.
And there is none comparable to the Allah.
Allah is the creator of everything.
Allah give us only one religion that is islam.
At last some question to believers ,unbelievers ,scientists and all human beings……..
who makes the earth floating on the space , where earth never run away from its orbit?
(who make this system !)
who makes the sun rises from the east and set it to west?
(who make this system !)
who makes the day start, who makes the night start?
(who make this system !)
Who? you. who ? me.
Answer is NO.
Then who…May be god, gods or a top scientist or scientists.
Confused ?! (i will give the ANSWER).
If there is at-list two gods then they claim their rights.
like 1st god could say now i want night fall and 2nd god could say no now i want day , a sun rise. then they will fight for their rights and cause ciaos in the universe. they could destroy sun ,moon , earth , every living being in this planet.
but that is not happening. sun ,moon ,earth is ok.
May be because there is only one god. who rules the universe.
Logically its true.
Well Allah is one , Allah is the top-scientist.
Because Allah creates every thing in this universe.
I give u the answer.
Scientist generally believe in god, Allah what ever u can say….
Because Allah give them knowledge little more, so that is why they fill proud of them selves , for their logical thinking they think this is possible and this is impossible.
Tell them to build a floating earth as big as this one with solar system. (they will cry in their heart for their Failure)
For their pride allah make them blind, so they can not see. though they have eyes.
For 40 , 50 or may be 70 years of Research ,experience they did some outstanding job.
but Allah is out their for may be million, billions, Zillions of years ; Allah’s Research ,experience and achievements are unreachable for us.
Though they don’t believe.
They don’t believe in Allah.
what ever, Neil Armstrong is no more with us.
We should pray for the departed soul.
Ok all you Muslims that want to stick your head in the sand when truth is beating you smartly about the head and shoulders, please pay attention. I spent 39 months in Iraq. I heard call to prayer daily and alas I never converted. I asked a friend of mine, an Iraqi who works as an Army Interpreter and devout Muslim, about this thing and why it was such a big deal. He told me the moon is pretty sacred to the religion and alot of Muslims don’t want the first steps taken on the moon to be those of an infidel. I can see why that would be a problem seeing how some of you guys feel about them. Not to mention the whole rampant killing thing that I’ve seen with my own 2 eyes (those of you who claim Islam is a “clean” religion are certainly not keeping up in your current events or history for that matter). Let me bottom line this for you. Neil Armstrong wasn’t Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist or any other religion organized or otherwise. He was just a man, albeit a GREAT man, but a man non the less. Those of you who attempt to paint him in a way that makes him look agreeable to your own line of thinking dishonor his memory and bring great shame upon yourselves. Not to mention making “The followers of Allah look like screaming Ignoramus’s” ( quoting my terp friend there). Do the memory Of Neil Armstrong, your religion, us and yourselves a favor and just shut up and get over it. I’m sure Neil Armstrong has figured out who or what the real God is by now, if there be one. Oh look hes doing that exploring thing again.
God Speed Neil Armstrong.
You were a world Hero.

This is all so ridiculous…only God knws what Neil Armstrong heard/saw and bringing him up is just nonsense. May he rest in peace.
Now about Islam.. Which means to SUBMIT or SURRENDER…is the most reasonable, simple, pure and peaceful religion in this world…the belief that there is only ONE God. La ilaaha illalah.
We don’t just think the moon is sacred (we dont worship the moon) but we think everything ….the moon…the sun….the planets…..stars….earth….n beyond ( things we have never seen, or beings or animals that r unknown to many of us today). The mountains, seas, EVERYTHING is precious because they are all creation of the one GOD.
The Quran was never ever altered. It beautifully tells you about how we should live n our purpose of life. What our beloved prophets did may peace be upon all of them.
Where will we be after we r dead? You think thats it? So all the oppressed pple…all the innocent poor people in this world…some who dont even live long enough to see much of life will just die n thats it???? No judgement?
You cannot say bad things about a religion just by looking at the wrong people or moreover looking at muslims the wrong way. There is good n bad allover this world. Read the book urself before saying anything offensive. May God guide you. Allahuakbar! ( God is great)
i dont understand why the non muslims have to put our religion down? ok fine u dont believe in it u dont have to each person is responsible for themselves their actions and more so what they believe wat their beliefs are why dont you look instead what is going on in the world most of the victims are muslims! why are they the main targets? why do u people need to step in to take control over everything? because the only thing u want to do is take control over everything u talk about religion and attack islam especially islam only why?? because u some where in ur minds and hearts feel threateand by this religion only there must be some reason all these soldiers in muslim countries why u dont talk about wat u do and who the victims really are u all are out there with america pumping ur behinds with weapons and cash and wat do u get disfigured and amputated but they dont care for u they just using u for their bigger mission u are nothing more than plastic figure soldiers for them just to use u to kill as many muslims as possible! ! who cares if neil armstrong was or wasnt muslim just taking away him doesnt make islam weaker guys open ur eyes to wats really happening in the world now not just the muslims but every religion is being used againt each other the “big guys” dont giv a damn wat religion u are or if u live or die as long as they have control!
BACK TO HISTORY (part 1)
Hitler killed millions and he’s catholic converted to islam before the world war.
Bush sent his troops to Afghan and Iraq killing millions, he’s a masons / christian converted to islam before the war. Identity of troops remains unknown.
Terrorist it is!
may armstrong didnt heard azaan on the moon , may he didnt converted to Islam but it really doesnt matters to we muslims we really dont believes in miracles and our Imaan are not dependent on miracle we listen to our always living leader Prophet MUHAMMAD who really taughted us the way to live life peacefully and let us know about Amighty ALLAH PAK who created the whole universe our Imaan are not dependent on armstrong’s statement neither any miracle, if really we followers of Islam had believed in miracles then we must have worshiped some pakhandi babas who shows miracles by kaala jaadus or some magicians rather offering NAMAAZ in Bargag of ALLAH PAK
