    وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلنُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُوا۟ بِهَا فِى ظُلُمَٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ 97

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓأَنشَأَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَفْقَهُونَ 98

97.  And He it is Who hath set for you the stars that ye may guide your course by them amid the darkness of the land and the sea. We have detailed Our Revelations for a people who have knowledge. 98.  And He it is Who hath produced you from a single being, and (hath given you) a habitation and a repository. We have detailed Our Revelations for a people who have understanding.

Commentary

Musta-qarrun – (a habitation), it is an adverb, which has come out from the word ‘istaqraar. Its origin is qaraar. Qaraar means “rest, fixedness, firmness”. ‘istaqraar means “to stay”. Mustaqar means “place of staying”.

Mustaw-da-‘un – (the place where the trust is deposited), it is also an adverb and it has been derived from the word ‘istii-daa-‘un, which has come out from the word wadii-‘at. Wadii-‘at means “a thing; which has been deposited as a trust”. ‘Istii-daa-‘un means “to keep a thing as a trust.

Allah Almighty commands: The stars, which you look at night, have been set by Him. Those are useful for you to evaluate about the correct way in the jungle and desert, where nothing exists except barren field, and in the sea, where nothing can be seen but only water. The observers of the stars become able to know the direction of their destination. Allah Almighty explains the means of His Revelation and the way; how to seek Him, for those, who desire to know Him. It is not too much difficult to know Allah Almighty, if the people reflect into them.

Now you should think: Who did create you? How were you born and where will you go? Behold! You entire were created by Allah Almighty and you all are children of one man i.e. Adam (peace be upon Him). You were born in such a manner that at first you were kept in the womb of mother like a trust. You were expanded there gradually. After maturity, you came in the world. You stayed here for some specified period. Then you have to join your grave, where you will remain until God Almighty desires.

These entire places are ordinary. You will stay in the Paradise or the Hell after coming out from the grave. Anyone place from those will be your permanent dwelling station. Allah Almighty has manifested and disclosed clearly these all tokens for those who think and want to know.
