Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You are asking about the exegesis of the saying of the Truthful One (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Al-Rahman:6]. Is it the star in the sky, or is it the plant known as a star?
Answer:
The well-known view—and Allah knows best—regarding this is that it refers to the star in the sky when the term is used in its general sense, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Najm:1] and [Al-Waqi'ah:75]. The intended meaning is the stars of the sky. As for the tree, it suffices for the star that is named from among the trees. Thus, the star prostrates in a manner befitting it, and the tree does so as well. No one knows the manner of their prostration except He (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, among the signs of this is their humility and their submission to their Manager (Glorified and Exalted is He). They are created beings, humble, managed, and directed.
As for the manner of prostration of the star and the tree, it is Allah who knows it (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
