      The Arabs among the opposition group of our prophet who had no spiritual light and insight, could not understand the full significance of Allah's Attributes, and in particular of, ``AL-RAHMÄN = THE MERCIFUL''. They could not see why is He the Most Gracious, and how has He infinite and unbounded Mercy and Grace!:ِ

      ``So when it was said to them prostarte yourselves before Rahmän, they said:;ِ ``And what AL-RAHMÄN = the Merciful is !?''

 

      The next verse is to answer their question by alluding to some of the Merciful's wonders of creation:ِ

      ``Blessed is He who set the constellations in the sky.''

      The Arabic ``BORJ'' or in its plural form, ``BORUJ'' literally means appearance, a connotation of which is the towers that are more apparent in the defensive walls of a town. (ancient cities) Arabs call them BORJ. It also refers to high palaces. But in the above verse (NO.61), the immediate reference is to the constellations, which are the configuration of stars, consisting of a number of arbitrary groups of fixed stars. This verse implies the minute order and the fixed system of rule, which govern the heavens and earth, and are controlling the movements of the sun and the moon, and all the celestial bodies. It is this regular movement that makes the night and day, and the season and time. This regular system has held its control over universe for millions of years without any change or variation in speed, state, position, or other vital measures.
