Explanatory Note

God, highlighting His greatness and the great signs He has placed in the universe: "Blessed is He who has set up in the skies great constellations, and has placed among them a lamp and a light giving moon. And He it is who causes the night and the day to succeed one another; [a clear sign] for him who would take heed or would show gratitude."

Most probably the term ‘constellations’, as mentioned here, refers to the positions of the planets and their great orbits. Their mention contrasts with the mockery sensed in the unbelievers’ question: ‘What is the Most Merciful?’ These constellations, in their real and perceived greatness, are only one aspect of His creation. In these the sun takes its position, and the sun is called here ‘a lamp’ as it sends light to our planet as well as to other planets. And among them there is a light- giving moon, which spreads a gentle air of calm.

It appears from its style and subject matter that like Surah 23: al-Mu’minun (The Believers) it was also revealed during the third stage of Prophethood at Makkah. Scholars and commentators if the Qur’an like Ibn Jarir and Imam Razi have cited a tradition of Dahhak bin Muzahim that this Surah was revealed eight years before Surah 4: an-Nisa’ (The Women).
