Al-Hijr
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[15:16]
AND, INDEED, We have set up in the heavens great constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold;


* v.16 : My rendering of burūj as “great constellations” is based on the Tāj al-‘Arūs; among the classical commentators, Baghawī, Baydāwī, and Ibn Kathīr give the same interpretation, while Tabarī (on the authority of Mujāhid and Qatādah) explains this term as signifying “the stars” in general.
