فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ {75}
[Yusufali 56:75] Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-
[Pickthal 56:75] Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ {76}
[Yusufali 56:76] And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
[Pickthal 56:76] And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
I attempted to study it.
"And I swear by the locations of the Stars. And certainly this adjuration you will find very great if you could know about the locations of the stars" {Refer 56:75-76}
The location of different stars has been indicated as something of great importance. This can be appreciated by those who explore and know the Milky Way Galaxy and farther galaxies and stars. Locations help astronomers determine the age of stars. Most O (blue) and B (blue-white) main-sequence stars are not randomly distributed throughout the sky. Instead, these stars tend to be grouped into associations lying along the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Some of these groups, such as one in the constellation Perseus, appear to be expanding. By extrapolating its expanding motion backward, astronomers can determine that the age of the expansion (and therefore the stars) is less than two million years.
It is a common perception that one swears by something which is of great importance and sanctity. Apart from the locations of the stars there is another thing/object/place which has been used for swearing:
"And I swear by "Receded, Retrograded Ones which are "The swiftly moving particular hiding places/abodes/caves" {Refer 81:15-16}
Scientists may look into this swearing wherein the metaphors used are describing something/objects which have the nature/feature of receded, retrograded ones and for others are hiding places/caves. Aren't these two verses referring to the concept of singularities-presence of many black holes?
"And the Sky and the "Wayfarer", and what thing will make you perceive that "Wayfarer"? {or, of the} The Brightly Shining Star" {Refer 86:01-03}
I have placed at one place the relevant verses of the Grand Quran giving information about the Stars. Knowledgeable persons may study and analyze to expand the information infolded in the words for the benefit of people of ordinary knowledge like me.
