      There are many earths and creatures and intelligent life like humans scatted throughout the universe. There are many verses pointing to this. The following is a good book which you can read free on extraterrestrial life through quranic verses http//www.authonomy.com/books/11309/extraterrestrial-intelligence-amazing-new-insights-from-qur-an-in-the-light-of-its-own-true-nature/read-book/?chapterid=107997#chapter

      PEACE

        peace,

        AAlameena is commonly translated as "worlds" but it does not mean this, at least in some places

        e.g.
        http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9596520.msg51053#msg51053

        I cant comment for all occurrences however, as I have not studied it in detail.

        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

          ^hmm that's very interesting considering the root word 3ein-lam-meem, which means know/ be aware of. Either it refers to these creations as signs that make people 'know' or 'be aware' of God, as described on the PRL site, or it could refer to the creations as those who have awareness/ are conscious.

              Well multiple 'universes' is not an 'impossibility'..
              The notion of "afterlife", "Heaven" and "Hell" is an example of 'different universe' than the one we lived right now.
              Where the governing 'rules' and 'law' are different than the one we lived today.
              Before this universe's 'big bang' He exist and after the 'big shrinking' He still exists.
              God maintains all of the universes and He sets different rules within each in accordance and manages all of it.

              Salam / Peace
