How many Earths did Allah create?

Published in Islamic Cosmology 1 min read

According to Islamic texts, Allah created seven Earths.

While the Qur'an and Sunnah detail the existence of seven heavens, they also mention the existence of seven Earths. However, details about these Earths, besides our own, are not extensively elaborated upon in Islamic scripture. The Sunnah indicates each heaven has inhabitants, but specific information about the other six Earths is lacking. We only have descriptions regarding the Earth we currently inhabit. Therefore, based on Islamic sources, the number of Earths created by Allah is stated to be seven.
