What is the interpretation of a person seeing stars falling on the 27th night of Ramadan? Can it be linked to the meaning of the noble verse, "By the star when it descends"? Is it considered a sign of Laylat al-Qadr, or an interpretation of the verse? And what if the meaning of the verse is something that Allah has not yet permitted to be interpreted?

The interpretation of "By the star when it descends" (An-Najm idhā hawā) has several meanings, among them: - Allah swore by the Qur'an because it was revealed in parts (nujūm). - He swore by the Pleiades (Thurayya) when they set. - He swore by the star when it falls into a deep valley. - He swore by the stars when they scatter on the Day of Resurrection, or when they fall in pursuit of devils. - He swore by the general class of stars known as every planet. - The star (An-Najm) is the portion of the Qur'an revealed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and "hawā" (descends) means it was revealed.

The most prominent interpretations are that "An-Najm" refers to the general class of stars, or the Pleiades, or the portion of the Qur'an that was revealed.
