There are two verses in the Quran which imply the existence of extraterrestrial life. The first verse indicates the existence of planets similar to earth in the universe:

"God is He who has created seven heavens (samawatte) and of the earth a similar number..." (65:12)

According to Muhammad Asad's interpretation [1] the term Sama (plural: Samawatte), translated as heaven or sky, is applied to any thing that is spread like a canopy above any other thing. Thus, the visible sky which stretches like a vault above Earth and forms its canopy is called sama; and this is the primary meaning of this term in the Quran; in a wider sense, it has the connotation of a "galaxy" or a "cosmic system". As regard to the "seven heavens", it is to be borne in mind that in Arabic usage the number "seven" is often synonymous with "several", or "many". This may explain the "seven heavens" as denoting the multiplicity of galaxies or cosmic systems. As such the above verse (65:12) would mean that God created the universe to compromise many galaxies, each having at least one earth similar to ours.

The second verse speaks not only of the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but it categorically declares that it does exist [2]:

"And among His signs is the creation of heavens and the earth, and of all the living creatures (da'bbah) which He has caused to multiply throughout them, and He has the power to gather them together (Jam-i-him) whenever He wills." (42:29)

The first part of this verse declares the existence of living creatures on the Earth as well as the cosmic system. The Quran describes the living creatures as (da'bbah) which cover all living species that creep or move along the surface of the Earth. It is certainly not applicable to any form of spiritual life. In Arabic an angel will never be referred to as da'bbah or a jinni for that matter. The second part of the verse speaks of bringing together the life on Earth and the life elsewhere in the universe. The verse does not specify the time or the place of this meeting but rather states that this event will most certainly come to pass whenever God so desires. It should be pointed out that the Arabic term Jam-i-him used to express the gathering event can imply either a physical encounter or a contact through communication.

In conclusion the Quran states that life exists in many forms and in many places in this gigantic cosmos and not only restricted to Earth. God has the power to allow these various creatures to be gathered whenever He wills. This is an early reference to the space age in which current space explorations may constitute a modest beginning. However, the very fact that more than fourteen hundred years ago such a possibility of extraterrestrial life was even predicted is miraculous in itself.

Why do we read Quraan, even if we can’t understand a single Arabic word????
This is a beautiful story An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentuckywith his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa wakeup early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the Qur’an just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur’an do?” The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breathe, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!” “So you think it is useless?” The old man said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different.
It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out. “Son, that’s what happens when you read the Qur’an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.” If you feel this email is worth reading, please forward to your contacts/friends. Prophet Muhammad ( p.b.u.h) says: “The one who guides to good will be rewarded equally”

Question:
Is there anything that will tell a person that his Lord is pleased with
him?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Among the signs that the Lord is pleased with His slave is that He guides
him to do good deeds and avoid haraam things. This is confirmed by the
words of Allaah:

While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and
bestows on them their piety; [Muhammad 47:17]
As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them
to Our paths (i.e. Allaah religion Islamic Monotheism); [al-â˜Ankaboot
29:69]

But if a person is hindered from doing good deeds and avoiding haraam
things we seek refuge with Allaah then that is a sign that Allaah is
not pleased with him.

Allaah has also explained in His Book that the sign of His being pleased
with His slave and of His guidance is that He opens his heart to true
guidance and true faith. And the sign of misguidance and being far from
the Straight Path is distress and constriction in the heart. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):

“And whomsoever Allaah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam; and
whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and
constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allaah puts the
wrath on those who believe ; [al-Anâam 6:125]

Ibn 'Abbaas said, commenting on this verse: And whomsoever Allaah wills
to guide;: He opens his heart to Tawheed and belief therein.

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/175

Another sign of Allaah love for His slave and His being pleased with him
is that He makes him beloved to His slaves. Al-Bukhaari (3209) and Muslim
(2637) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: When Allaah loves a person, He calls out to
Jibreel: Allaah loves So and so, so Jibreel loves him. Then Jibreel
calls out to the people of heaven, Allaah loves So and so, so love him.
So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth

Al-Nawawi said: and he finds acceptance on earth means that people love
him and are pleased to see him, so their hearts incline towards him. It
says in another report: and he finds love on earth.
And Allaah knows best.
