Vow to that; We have created constellations in the sky and We have adorned it for the onlookers.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) says, "We have created in the sky a number of zodiac signs. Bastions means mansions. It also means to pause at a distance or to protect something.
As the Earth revolves around the axis of the Sun, it also enters some signs of the zodiac. There are 12 of them. From here the months emerge. The meaning of the zodiac signs here is a headquarters built to protect something. That is why these signs are meant to prevent the jinn from crossing into the angelic realm and to prevent them from listening to the speeches of the angels. Except for some djinn who are ear thieves. It is followed by a flaming beam chasing after it.
The names of these signs are as follows; Hamel, Sevr, Jawza, Seretan, Asad, Sunbüle, Mizan, Scorpio, Kavs, Cedi, Delv, Hut. Of these, the sign of Eset belongs to the Sun and the sign of Seratan belongs to the Moon. The signs of Hamil and Scorpio belong to the star Merih and the signs of Sevr and Mizan belong to the star Zühre. The signs of Jawza and Sümbüle belong to the star Utarit, and the signs of Kavs and Hut belong to the star Customer. The signs of Cedi and Delv belong to the star Zuhal. They are three hundred and sixty degrees mobile, and these signs have their own thirty degrees. These also go around the Sun in one year, thus completing a cycle of the world. The moon cycles them every twenty-eight days.
Allah created the universe with knowledge. The purpose of mentioning these sciences to people is to show them the power of Allah so that they may obey their Lord.
What is said in the video
We read it, didn't we? We did. Now, to verse sixteen of Surah Al-Hijr we have come.
Verily. Allah Almighty swears an oath. Verily. We have created constellations in the sky. We have created constellations in the sky. And We adorned it for those who look.
What are these constellations?
Constellations.
Allah Almighty has placed the system of the earth, sun and moon in the sky. Through the earth turning around the sun's axis, station by station, He brought about the constellations, that is, the (?). In these (?) He adorned the months. The number of constellations in the sky is 12. And this is 12 months.
Yes.
Allah Almighty, swearing by His own Self, says: We have created constellations in the sky. The word burj means mansion. Mansion. It also means stopping at a station, or protecting something. Protection. This is Allah Almighty protecting the world with the layer of air around the world, 83 kilometres (?) in form — protecting it. A meteorite falling to the earth, through friction in the air, turning to ash and scattering before it reaches the earth. (?) the sun exploding, and the sun's ultraviolet rays being filtered in the ozone layer, and it protecting the world. Protecting it from harmful rays.
Protection, that is. It means that too. Or it means protecting something. The earth too, as it turns around the sun's axis, enters certain constellations. These are 12 in number. For example, we say spring, we say summer, we say autumn, we say winter, stops, and within them the months, each different, He has adorned it — with what? Well, in spring with its greenery, in summer with its heat, in winter with its autumns, in winter with its snows, and in autumn with the autumnal shedding of the leaves — that is, He has turned the world shape by shape like this. Shape by shape. Because people all tire of looking at one thing, He, turning the world like this from time to time within itself, around itself, has given colour to people's lives.
The earth too, as it turns around the sun's axis, enters certain constellations. These are 12 in number. From here the months come about. What is meant by the constellations here is a stronghold built to protect something. That is why these constellations are there to prevent the jinn from passing into the angelic realm, so that they do not listen to the angels' conversations. Except for some jinn who eavesdrop; a flaming ray, chasing them from behind, follows them. What we call shihab. You know, some people say it is a shooting star. It is not a star shooting. Rather, a jinn goes up to that realm of malakut and, in that constellation, eavesdropping, listening to the angels' conversations, in order to pass it on to people with lies and patchwork, it goes up there, and when the angels see this, from those constellations a ray, called shihab, is sent at them.
If it can escape, it escapes. If it cannot, once caught, it tears it apart. One day I was sitting at home, on the balcony, on the balcony; that ray was nearly about to hit the earth. We can see it now, higher up. The top is visible. I saw it spread out there like a fringe. A fringe. Then it hit the jinn. It caught it and hit it. Just like when you fire a flare into the air, how it fringes out like this, the same fringe. I witnessed it, I mean, I saw it. Yes. And people call this a shooting star. It is not a star shooting.
The names of these constellations are as follows. We are saying their names now.
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces are the names given. Of these, the constellation of Leo belongs to the Sun, the constellation of Cancer to the Moon. The constellations of Aries and Scorpio belong to the star Mars, the constellations of Taurus and Libra to the star Venus. The constellations of Gemini and Virgo belong to the star Mercury, the constellations of Sagittarius and Pisces are specific to the star Jupiter. And the constellations of Capricorn and Aquarius belong to the star Saturn. They move through 360 degrees. Each of these constellations also has its own 30 degrees.
Going around the sun in one year, in this way a cycle of the world is completed. It also passes through them once every twenty-eight days. Allah Almighty created the universe with knowledge. By telling people of this knowledge, Allah shows people His power, so that they obey their Lord.
