These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"... Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute..."

– Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, LXXXII (BH00328)

"Regarding the passage on p. 163 of the 'Gleanings': The creatures which Bahá'u'lláh states to be found on every planet cannot be considered to be necessarily similar or different from human beings on this earth. Bahá'u'lláh does not specifically state whether such creatures are like or unlike us. He simply refers to the fact that there are creatures on every planet. It remains for science to discover one day the exact nature of these creatures."

– From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, February 9, 1937, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1581

"... ‘Abdu’l-Bahá stated there are other worlds than ours which are inhabited by beings capable of knowing God..."

– On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Light of Divine Guidance, volume 2, p. 82
