Is there life on other planets or in other galaxies besides the solar galaxy?
The seven heavens are filled with angels who glorify and seek forgiveness for God, as indicated by His Almighty's saying: (The heavens almost burst forth from above them, and the angels glorify their Lord with praise and ask forgiveness for those on earth) and His saying: (But if they are too arrogant, then those who are with your Lord glorify Him night and day, and they do not tire).
Furthermore, Al-Tirmidhi narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (The heaven creaked, and it has the right to creak; there is not a space of four fingers in it but that there is an angel prostrating his forehead to Allah). In the Two Sahihs, in the story of Al-Isra’ and Al-Mi’raj, it is mentioned that seventy thousand angels pray in Al-Bayt Al-Ma'mur every day. As for other planets and galaxies, Allah knows best about their state.
