Sūrat al-Burūj (Arabic: البروج‎‎, "The Great Star") is the 85th chapter (sura) of the Quran with 22 verses.[2] The word "Al-Burooj" in the first verse is translated to stars, mainly 'great stars'.[3] The Surah opens with an oath by a heaven full of stars: By the sky containing great stars. The Arabic word Al-Burooj is interpreted in several ways. The word Al-Burooj is the plural of Burj which means fort or tower; something that can be seen from a distance. Ibn ‘Abbas, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhaj, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and As-Suddi said Burj means stars. Ibn Jareer chose the view that it means the positions of the sun and the moon, which are twelve Burooj. The sun travels through each one of these Burj in one month. The moon travels through each one of these Burj in two-and-a-third days, which makes a total of twenty-eight positions, and it is hidden for two nights [making a month of 30 approximately]. ==================================================== https://www.facebook.com/ISLAAHMEDIA https://twitter.com/islaahmedia https://plus.google.com/+Islaahmedia/... https://www.linkedin.com/pub/islaah-m...
