GABRIEL BROUGHT DOWN THE MESSAGE OF GOD 
VERSE NO. 15-25
The theme of the above passage is to emphasize the loyalty and truthfulness of our trustworthy prophet.
The appeal is made to the turning stars which move to and fro, and then hide themselves; and the night when it gradully falls; and the morning when breathed.
As to the stars that have been the object of God's swear, many commentators are of opinion that they are the five planets named; Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury. These are visible with the naked eye. They gradually appear, and then set all together, without having an apparant change in the distance between them! Among all the bright stars, the above five planets have their orbit around the sun, in our solar system. They are relatively close to us, and this is why we can see their movement. They seem to move forward for a length of time and then they return a little back; and again continue moving forward.
Just as the night stars give their duty of enlightening, to the glorious sun; Mohammad, the Messenger of God, takes over the enlightening and guidance of the social world of Mankind. He is neither a soothsayer, nor a poet. He is the truthful Messenger of God, who received God's Message through the arch angel of God, named GABRIEL. The said honourable, trustworthy and powerful, arch angel is the honest trustee of Allah, and he is incapable of any kind of deceit. Our prophet saw him in a clear horizon, and he was eager to reveal to us what he received by inspiration from Gabriel.
