Quran's Self-Description
- The Quran has recurring descriptions of itself, often using oaths (Muqsam) to introduce statements (Muqsam alayhi).
- These oaths prepare the reader for the upcoming message and enhance comprehension by connecting the sworn-by element to the statement's meaning.
Falling Stars Oath
- In Surah Al-Waqia, Allah swears by the "Mawaqir" of the stars, referring to their placements or falling.
- This highlights how our perception of stars is historical due to light's travel time, connecting to the Quran's timeless nature.
Stars and Quranic Connections
- Stars, a recurring theme in the Quran (especially Surah An-Najm), move and form constellations, mirroring the Quran's interconnected verses.
- Seemingly disparate verses, like stars, reveal patterns and connections upon deeper reflection, showcasing a divine order.
