As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn Up In Ranks)

Verse 6

Translation:

6. We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars

Notes (Tafseer):

4035. Cf. lxvii. 5, lxxii. 8-9.

4036. 'Stars' may be taken here in the popular sense, as referring to fixed stars, planets, comets, shooting stars, etc. On a clear night the beauty of the starry heavens is proverbial. Here they are meant to illustrate two points: (1) their marvellous beauty and their groupings and motions (apparent or real) manifest and typify the Design and Harmony of the One true Creator: and (2) the power and glory behind them typify that there is a guard against the assaults of Evil (see verse 7 below).
