We placed in the heavens great stars so as to guide people on their travels in the darkness of the desert and the sea. We also created them for those who ponder them, so that they would come to understand the ability of Allah, may He be glorified.
We have placed constellations in the heaven and adorned it for the onlookers,
And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders.3
[3] (V.15:16) See the footnote of (V.6:97).
And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders.
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;
And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders.
And indeed We have already made in the heaven constellations, and We have adorned it to the onlookers.
تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَٰجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا
Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.
