In Surah al-Saffat (37:6), Allah, Al-‘Ala (The Highest, The Superior, The Sublime), speaks about the adornment of the sky with a zeenatin al-kawakibi (an adornment of the stars). It is a reflection of the Grandeur and Majesty of Allah, Al-‘Ala. “Our desire for adornment and beauty is among our natural inclinations…A look at the sky at night, when it is dark and the stars are seen, will show…a very beautiful” and fascinating scene. It as if the stars “speak with us…and reiterate the secrets of Divine creation. It seems all of them were poets and constantly made the most beautiful,” romantic…and gnostic poems. Their nictitating [twinkling, blinking, winking] express[es] some secrets that exist nowhere but between a lover and a beloved. Truly the scenery of the stars of the sky is so beautiful that never the eyes become tired from seeing them, on the contrary, they send out fatigue from the…body.” At the time, the dominate hypothesis was “that only the higher sky was the sky of stars and planets” (Ptolemy said the eighth sky), but this was nullified by the Holy Qur’an and is a living miracle. “Another interesting point is that from the viewpoint of the modern science it is certain that the beautiful nictitating act of stars is as a reason of the air which has covered all around the Earth and makes them to do so, and this meaning completely fits with the Qur’anic phrase as-sama’-ud-duniya (the lower heaven [sky]). But outside the atmosphere of the Earth, the stars gaze and they lack sparkle.” Subhanallah.
