The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner asks: Is there evidence in the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Waqi'ah 56:77] for the view that the stars referred to are the Qur'an, specifically regarding the pronoun referring back to the oath?
The Shaykh:
Yes. If there were no possibility of ambiguity, the exegete would not have mentioned it. There is a possibility that the intended meaning of "stars" is the stars of the Qur'an. Yes, he mentions both possibilities: that the intended meaning of "stars" is the celestial bodies, and there is a possibility that the intended meaning of "stars" is the stars of the Qur'an and the parts of the Qur'an that were revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The questioner:
I ask Allah to reward you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner asks: On the view that the meaning of "stars" is the Qur'an, what is the meaning of "in their places"?
The Shaykh:
It means the places of its revelation, because it was divided. It was divided, and every star has a place in the time of its revelation and the location of its revelation, the time of its revelation and the location of its revelation, because it was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah, and it was revealed in al-Madinah, and it was revealed during travels, and it was revealed in every place where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was, whether in residence or travel, in al-Madinah and Makkah, and in the military expeditions. Yes.
