أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ
MEANING
Allat- stands for lightening, bright, glistening, a shining object. Shine with flickering light. A pearl.
Due to its brilliance it negates the surrounding thus taken for no, refusal, denial. Thus this negation is not due to ignorance or lack of something but due to excess and brightness. Denial of an intellectual or a scholar or educated person.
It also represents descend and because of descend it progressively gets clear.
Because of high affinity, force of attraction other objects get around it and keep spinning around it.
INTERPRETATION
Quran: Surah Najm (star)
The verse in this surah which describes different stars and there behaviour. Now star is not only physical as we see in space, it is also non-physical as in your soul which shines inside you.
In the cosmos there are stars with high affinity and force , they give rise to brilliant burst of light periodically spreading through millions of year. They capture surrounding objects, stars which revolve around it. These stars are like pulses of light and rays and are prominent in universe because of their brightness. In Quran ” ALLAT” is the word used to describe such entity and now astrophysicist call them PULSAR. Note that this word specifically appears in the Surah Al Najm- the star.
People used to look toward sky and used to navigate with there help. In space travel these stars will help to fix coordinates for space boundaries.
