Verse 7
Those who set the Ranks • makkah
View Aspects
15:17; 41:13; 67:6.
The verse points to a parallelism between the physical and spiritual realms, viz. that just as the physical heaven is sustained by physical planets and stars, so is the spiritual heaven sustained by their spiritual counterparts who are the Prophets and Divine Reformers. Each one of them serves as an ornament for the spiritual heaven, as the stars and planets beautify and embellish the physical heaven.
15:17; 41:13; 67:6.
Commentary:
It is not only the beautiful appearance of planets and stars at night that is meant here. It would be too trivial for a Divine revealed Book to make special mention, merely of the ornamental character of these heavenly bodies. They serve another very useful spiritual purpose. In fact, the verse points to a parallelism between the physical and spiritual realms, viz. that just as physical heaven is sustained by physical planets and stars, so is the spiritual heaven sustained by its spiritual counterparts who are the Prophets and Divine Reformers. Each one of them serves as an ornament for the spiritual heaven, as the stars and planets beautify and embellish the physical heaven.

这节经文将物质王国和精神王国作一对比。正如物质的行星和恒星支持了物质的天, 精神的天也有它相应的支持, 那就是众先知和安拉派遣的复兴者。他们中间每一个人都是精神的天的一件装饰物, 好像恒星和行星装饰着物质的天, 使它非常美丽一样。
