The Nature Of Test
Are animals and other living beings also tested in this world? What about aliens on other planets?
Did God create this world only for humans?

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together”
[al-Takweer 81:5]
“There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered”
[al-An’aam 6:38]
Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “Everything will be gathered, even the flies.”
On the Day of Resurrection, the animals will settle scores between one another. It says in a hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “All scores will be settled on the Day of Resurrection; even the hornless sheep will settle its scores with the horned sheep.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Birr wa’l-Silah wa’l-Adaab, 4679).

Humans and jinns are being tested because they have been given consciousness and free will with the knowledge of right and wrong. Please refer to below for understanding of the nature of this test:
We don’t know if aliens even exist on other planets so the question of their test is irrelevant.
As for animals, please see my response in the discussion below:
