Can stars fall?

Can stars fall?

81:2 And when the stars fall, losing their luster (inkadarat) … 81:15 But nay, I swear by those that retreat (bil-khunasi), 81:16 Those that run (and) disappear,

(The root of the word “inkadarat” (interpreted/translated as “fall, losing their luster”) is “Kaf-Dal-Ra”, and it means “to be muddy, be obscure, lose light, fall”. So, “falling” could be in the sense of losing light and becoming obscure)(Another interpretation is that stars shred/fall into a black hole)(Verse 81:16 confirms that falling / fading away (81:2) is in the context of disappearing; “those that run (and) disappear” (81:16))(A black hole is when massive enough objects collapse down (fall down) to an infinitesimal point (a singularity) due to the effects of gravity. At some distance from this singularity the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light, and since relativity says that nothing can travel faster than light, once anything passes within this distance (called the event horizon), it cannot escape)(A black hole is therefore simply a star, or other object, that has collapsed (fallen) to the point where its escape velocity exceeds the speed of light)(John Michell hypothesized that if a star could be massive enough then it might have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light, such that it would appear dark, hence “dark star”)(So, a star can “fall” and “become obscure” (81:2), because a star can collapse on itself. Another point is that the Qur’an does not say the place where the stars fall, so it does not imply or say that the stars fall on earth, but, according to the context, and considering that “inkadarat” also means “obscure, lose light”, then “falling” is to be interpreted in a different way)(The root of “khunasi” (retreating) is “Kh-Nun-Siin”, and it means “to retreat / recede / drawback, retire or hold back, lag behind, shrink and hide / withdraw oneself, remain behind a company of people, sneak something away, etc”; so it does not mean or imply, for example, falling on earth)(Allah knows best)

82:2 And when the stars scatter,

77:8 So when the stars are obliterated (tumisat),

(The root of “tumisat” (obliterated) is “Tay-Miim-Siin”, and it means “to be effaced, disappear, go far away, destroy, be corrupted, wipe out, obliterate, alter, put out, lose brightness, be remote, blot out the trace of”. This Verse confirms that falling can be in the sense of disappearing, being destroyed, wiped out, etc. The Verses of the Qur’an are not mutually exclusive but complement each other, so one Verse might be explained by other Verses)(Allah knows best)

86:1 By the sky and the night comer, 86:2 And what can make you know what the night comer is? 86:3 It is the star, the piercing,

56:75 But nay, I swear by (the) setting (bimawaqi’i) (of) the stars,

(The root of “mawaqi’i” (setting) is “Waw-Qaf-Ayn”, and it means “to fall down, befall, come to pass, be conformed, happen, take place, ascertain”. So, falling down or setting could be in the sense of stars’ fate (what occurs, befalls, come to pass, happens, take place (e.g. stars collapsing). The Verses of the Qur’an do not exclude each other but complement each other, so Verses 81:2-16, 77:8 and 56:75 might complement each other)(Allah knows best)

22:31 Being upright to Allah, not associating partners with Him. And whoever associates partners with Allah, then (it is) as though he had fallen (kharra) from the sky and the birds (had) snatched him, or the wind had blown him to a far off place.

(If Verse 81:2 had implied falling down, then the Verse might have used a word with the root “Kh-Ra-Ra”, because “Kh-Ra-Ra” is used for falling down, in the Qur’an (22:31, 16:26), rather than the root “Kaf-Dal-Ra”, used in Verse 81:2)(Allah knows best)

16:26 Verily, those who (were) before them plotted, but Allah came (at) their building from the foundations, so the roof fell (fakharra) upon them from above them, and the punishment came to them from where they (did) not perceive.
