Stars

I often turn my face to the stars and to Allah, sharing my innermost feelings and pondering deeper questions. The stars, mentioned thirteen times in the Holy Quran, are likened to the sun due to their illuminating nature in the night sky. They serve as guides for us.

Allah is the One who has set out the stars for us, so we may guide ourselves by them through the darkness of the land and sea. “And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darknesses of the land and sea. We have detailed the signs for a people who know” (Quran 6:97).

This Ayat conveys that just as the stars help us find the right path at night, reflecting on this impeccable sign of Allah can guide us to the ‘right path’ in life. By contemplating the stars, we can distinguish between right and wrong, leading us to a deeper understanding of Allah’s guidance and a more righteous path.
