Sura 53
Aya 49
49
وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعرىٰ

Ali Unal

And surely He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius.1
  • Sirius is the brightest star in the sky. Many Arabs worshipped it during the Time of Ignorance and attributed to it celestial events, such as rain. The Qur’ān categorically rejects this and states that it is God Who has created Sirius, Who makes it last, and gives it its light.
