Quran 12:3-6 – Sun And Moon And Stars Prostrating
Thanks for reply but question is & I do get it now that we should focus on the maintain theme of the surah. But I cant help but think back in that time they had no instrument to see how the planets [stars] actually were. They could only see the sun and moon in the sky . So they probably did not know that these planets were like sphere shaped balls etc. When Prophet Yusuf tells this dream to his father he says he saw them prostrating [ planets etc..] , the reader cant help but imagine the scene. But how did for example a sahabi understand these verses?? Prostration like is that a metaphor for they were coming to his feet ? I’m just curious how would a person back then understand this through his mind!? If you can clarify this I would be thankfull. JazakAllah khair.
