Sura 15
Aya 16
16
وَلَقَد جَعَلنا فِي السَّماءِ بُروجًا وَزَيَّنّاها لِلنّاظِرينَ

Muhammad Asad

AND, INDEED, We have set up in the heavens great constellations,1 and endowed them with beauty for all to behold;
  • My rendering of buraj as "great constellations" is based on the Taj al-'Arus; among the classical commentators, Baghawi, Baydawi and Ibn Kathir give the same interpretation, while Tabari (on the authority of Mujahid and Qatadah) explains this term as signifying "the stars" in general.
