Question

Is the concept of alternate reality or parallel universe compatible with Islam? This would essentially mean that there are infinite universes with infinite versions of all human beings existing in these universes.

Answer

Everything besides Allah Ta`ala is a creation and the creation is limited.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
