Is there a verse in the Holy Qur’an about the existence of different worlds other than Earth, and does it refer to the world of jinn and devils, or to intelligent life on other planets?
The Almighty's saying: (And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of all the creatures He has dispersed therein. And He is Able to gather them together when He wills) may indicate the existence of other worlds on other planets, besides jinn, humans, and angels. For "heaven" means loftiness and includes planets. And the word "creature" (dabbah) refers to beings other than angels. Nevertheless, one should not be definitive about this, as the verses may bear other interpretations, and this interpretation was not reported from the early scholars. Rather, Mujahid interpreted it to include humans and angels.
