76وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَو تَعلَمونَ عَظيمٌAli UnalIt is indeed a very great oath, if you but knew.1Modern interpreters of the Qur’ān assert that by the locations of the stars, the Qur’ān alludes to the white holes (quasars) and black holes in the sky. These are the locations of stars that have, to date, been found in the universe. Quasars store incredible amounts of energy, enough to form galaxies (assemblages of billions of stars). As for the black holes, they form as a result of the collapse of a star. They cannot be seen but are recognized by the fact that they devour all radiation and stars that pass nearby, and cause an indirect emission of gamma rays and X-rays, and by the fact that time is suddenly dilated in its vicinity. These star locations are regions of gravitational shock or collapse and of equilibrium in the universe.
