It has been narrated that Allah the Most Exalted has created many worlds other than our own on which various creatures exist. They all had an Adam (the first creature of their kind) and will all be resurrected. All of these creatures in all different worlds are obligated to have knowledge of Muhammed and his pure household (peace be upon them), obey their rules and befriend them.
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said:
“Surely Allah has created twelve thousand worlds, each of those worlds is greater than the seven heavens and the seven earths. None of (those) worlds thinks that Allah has got any other world (than them), and I am Allah’s Huja (guardian) over them.”

Book(al-Bihar Chapter 15, Hadith no. 1)
Imam Muhammed al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has said:
“Surely Allah had created in the earth – since He created it – seven worlds; they (the creatures who live on it) were not from the children of Adam; He created them from the surface of the earth, then He placed them on it one after another with its world. Then Allah, the Mighty, the Great, created Adam, the father of mankind, and created his progeny from him”

Jaber bin Yazid has once said (what it means): “I asked Abu Jafar (peace be upon him) about the verse: “Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation” (50:15) then He said:
Oh Jabir the interpretation of this verse is that when Allah the Most Exalted has ceased this creation and this world to exist, and dwelt the people of paradise in paradise and those of hell fire in hell fire, Allah will create a new world other than this world, and new creation (without reproduction) to worship and glorify Him, ……. Do you suppose that Allah has created this single world and He has not created any other beings apart from you. Yes, by Allah, He has created a thousand thousand worlds and a thousand thousand Adams and you are in the last of those worlds.”

When asked if there were other life forms on other planet, Imam Ja’far as-Sadeq (as) replied “Like this world there are 70,000 other planets with each of their peoples believing they are alone in the universe.”
The sixth Holy Imam, Imam Ja’far as-Sadeq (as) has said: “Perhaps you think God has not created a humanity other than you. No! I swear to God that He has created thousands upon thousands of mankinds and you are the last among them.”

Introduction First Heavenly concealment: 8th of Rabi-ul-Awwal, 260 A.H. Final Heavenly concealment: 10th of Shawwal, 328 A.H. There existed a good deal of harmony and uniformity between the aspects pertaining to the births of Prophet Muhammad, the last Apostle of Allah and Imam Mehdi, the last Apostolical Imam. Just as the coming of the Holy Prophet was prophesised well in advance by the preceeding Prophets similarly the impending news of the gracious birth of Imam al-Mehdi was foretold by the Holy Prophet. Innumerable traditions in this context, quoted right from The Holy Prophet from the glowing contents of many books of Masanid, Sehan, and Akhbar and of Shia Scholars existed. Many Sunni scholars have accumulated these traditions in complete volumes also.
