Lord of the Worlds

The Quran frequently refers to Allah as the “Lord of the Worlds” (Rabb al-‘Alamin), implying multiple realms or worlds under divine sovereignty:

“All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.” (Quran 1:2)

The term “worlds” (‘Alamin) can be interpreted to encompass various realms, potentially including other planets or dimensions with their own forms of life.

Creation in the Heavens and the Earth

Another verse alludes to the creation of living beings in both the heavens and the earth:

“And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both.” (Quran 42:30)

The mention of living creatures (da’bbah) in both the heavens and the earth suggests the possibility of life beyond our planet.

Unknown Creations

The Quran acknowledges the existence of creations beyond human knowledge:

“And He creates that which you do not know.” (Quran 16:8)

This verse opens the door to the existence of unknown entities, potentially including extraterrestrial life forms.
