What Does the Quran Say About Stars?

Stars are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[6:97] And He is the One who made the stars to guide you during the darkness, on land and on sea. We thus clarify the revelations for people who know.

[7:54] Your Lord is the one God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. The night overtakes the day, as it pursues it persistently, and the sun, the moon, and the stars are committed to serve by His command. Absolutely, He controls all creation and all commands. Most Exalted is God, Lord of the universe.

[16:12] And He commits, in your service, the night and the day, as well as the sun and the moon. Also, the stars are committed by His command. These are (sufficient) proofs for people who understand.

[16:15] And He placed stabilizers (mountains) on earth, lest it tumbles with you, as well as rivers and roads, that you may be guided.

[16:16] And landmarks, as well as the stars; to be used for navigation.

[22:18] Do you not realize that to God prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever God shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with God’s will.

[37:88] He looked carefully at the stars.

[37:89] Then he gave up and said, “I am tired of this!”

[52:49] Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as the stars fade away.

[53:1] As the stars fell away.

[53:2] Your friend (Muhammad) was not astray, nor was he deceived.

[55:6] The stars and the trees prostrate.

[56:75] I swear by the positions of the stars.

[56:76] This is an oath, if you only knew, that is awesome.

[56:77] This is an honorable Quran.

[56:78] In a protected book.

[56:79] None can grasp it except the sincere.

[77:8] Thus, when the stars are put out.

[77:9] The sky is opened up.

[77:10] The mountains are blown up.

[77:11] The messengers are summoned.

[77:12] That is the appointed day.

[77:13] The Day of Decision.

[81:1] When the sun is rolled.

[81:2] The stars are crashed into each other.

[81:3] The mountains are wiped out.

[81:4] The reproduction is halted.

[81:5] The beasts are summoned.

[81:6] The oceans are set aflame.

[81:7] The souls are restored to their bodies.

[81:8] The girl who was buried alive is asked:

[81:9] For what crime was she killed?

[81:10] The records are made known.

[81:11] The heaven is removed.

[81:12] Hell is ignited.

[81:13] Paradise is presented.

[81:14] Every soul will know everything it brought.
