In the Quran, celestial bodies interpreted as planets are referred to by the Arabic term 'kawkab' (plural: 'kawakib'). These are presented as magnificent signs of Allah's creative power and the meticulous order of the universe. The Quranic narrative emphasizes their subservience to divine law, moving in precise and calculated orbits. Classical commentators like Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, and Al-Tabari have discussed these verses in the context of the astronomical knowledge of their times, affirming the theme of a divinely ordained cosmos. Contemporary Islamic scholars often highlight the distinction the Quran appears to make between light-emitting bodies like stars ('najm') and other celestial objects like planets. The consistent theme across all interpretations is that the study and contemplation of these heavenly bodies should lead to a deeper appreciation of the Creator's power and wisdom.
