Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, "And the stars and the trees prostrate," some exegetes have interpreted "stars" as plants that have no stalks. Is there any basis for this interpretation?
Answer:
Yes, this is the apparent meaning, because He contrasted it with trees. So the star is what has no stalk, and the tree is what has a stalk. And grass is called a star in the language of the Arabs. This is taken from the language of the Arabs. Yes.
