Why Did Allah Create the Planets, Stars but Only Made the Earth Inhabitable?

Answered by Ustadha Raidah Shah Idil

Question: Assalam aleykum,

Why did Allah create the universe with galaxies, planets, stars, nebulas but only made the earth inhabitable?

Answer: Assalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I pray this finds you well. May Allah reward you for your question. Please forgive me for the delay.

Creation

Allah Most High says: “Indeed, in the alternation of the night and day and in what God has created within the heavens and the earth are signs for those who are pious.” (Qur’an, 10:9)

Allah alone knows the secrets of the known and unknown universe. Our responsibility is to reflect upon the signs He has placed all around as, and seek closeness to Him.
