Ahmadiyya Views On Evolution - Extraterrestrial Evolution

Extraterrestrial Evolution

Generally, Ahmadis believe that life is almost certainly not limited to planet Earth. The possibility of life having evolved on other planets is clearly established in the first chapter of the Qur'an which speaks of the plurality of worlds:

“All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of All the Worlds.”

The following verse corroborates this interpretation:

"And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures (da'bbah) He has spread forth in both. And He has the power to gather them together when He will so please".

Ahmadis believe that any planet that contains the key ingredient of life—water—may also harbour life, as God has created all living things from water:

We (God) created every living thing out of the water.
