SPACE DA'WA
mission
Some day we might be able to encounter aliens in space! Imagine that you have been asked to travel to a new planet to teach the aliens there about Islam. The problem is...it might take a long time to get there.
Your task is to create a space exploration machine that is advanced enough to get you to outer space faster than any rocket. It also has to carry lots of Quran books and prayer mats to show the aliens what Islam is about, so it has to be able to fit a lot of stuff. You might even decide to take building materials for a mosque! How do you do it?
