Surah Al An'am Tafseer

وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُواْ بِهَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ

It is He Who has set the stars for you, so that you may guide your course with their help through the darkness of the land and the sea.

Some of the Salaf said;

Whoever believes in other than three things about these stars, then he has made a mistake, and lied against Allah. Indeed Allah made them as decorations for the heavens, and to shoot at the Shayatin, and for directions in the dark recesses of the land and sea.

Then, Allah said,

قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الايَاتِ

We have explained in detail Our Ayat,

meaning, We made them clear and plain,

لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

for people who know.

who have sound minds and are able to recognize the truth and avoid falsehood
