    If you open the Holy Quran to the first surah, you will find it begins with:

    "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds."

    There is the physical world, the spiritual world, the world of bacteria, and so forth. That, obviously, is one sense in which we can understand 'worlds'.

    In another verse, however, it is clear that there are many earths God says in verse 65:13: Allah is He who created seven heavens, and of the earth the like thereof. The Divine command comes down in their midst, that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge.

    Is it possible that there may be other earths out there the Quran does not deny this niether do the scholars in Islam.

    Scientists say it is likely that there are many earths outside the solar system. 50 billion stars in the Milky Way rotate slowly, as does the sun. This characteristic indicates that those stars are surrounded by planets that are their satellites. The Bernard Star, for example, is believed to have at least one planetary companion. Let me quote Dr. Bucaille P. Guerin as says: "All the evidence points to the fact that planetary systems are scattered in profusion all over the universe. The solar system and the earth are not unique"

    (p. 148-9).

    In a recent article published in the Toronto Star, two scientists advanced evidence that there may indeed be many earths waiting to be discovered. The headline read: "Earths may be dime a dozen out there."

    The Quran uses the symbolic plural number 7 to indicate the existence of a plurality of heavens Allah says in verse 2:29:

    He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth; then He turned towards the heavens, and He perfected them as seven heavens; and He has perfect knowledge of all things. .

    God said:

    "Those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it comes unto them (are guilty), for indeed it is an unassailable Scripture. Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or behind it. It is a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise"

    (Quran 41 :41-42).

    Islam And Planets

  • Perhaps if you read the Second chapter in the holy Quran Al-Baqarah you will find out and study the interpretation of it, many other verses support that we are not alone but we are his favorite in the whole universe, remember there was life on earth before us, but not Human. Maybe some day we will find out, but if we do find another life form it will not effect Islam, because Islam does not deny this, Christianity supports the idea that we are alone, and if life was found it will contradict the bible, or for example if they find the missing link, and discover that evolution is real, it will almost destroy Christianity, but it will not effect Islam, because Islam does not deny or say that life started 6000 years ago. That is why Islam is so so cool lol

    What you mentioned is evidence relating to extraterrestrial organisms which may or may not exist... I have mixed views and unless it is mentioned it Islam, or unless it is discovered, I will not believe in the existence of high-intelligence aliens, with the actual information we have today...I am too much skeptical of it right now...

    However,to my knowledge be assured that Islam says nothing against it...and if they do exist, they WONT be superior in priority than us Humans in judgement by Almighty Allah.
