Reimagining the Qur'anic Planet: From Linguistic Root to Visual Revelation

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the imagery interpretation of the statements related to planets in the Holy Quran. The research has examined in depth the lexical, linguistic, cultural and philosophical aspects of the word "planet". Its basic semantic basis in Arabic is based on "shining", "appearing" and "moving", which represent not only material phenomena but also spiritual indications.

The paper has made a selective study of all the relevant verses of the Holy Quran, whose interpretations have been presented in the context of the famous commentators: Maulana Maududi, Sayyid Qutb and Abdul Majid Daryabadi. At the same time, the scientific interpretation of these verses has been examined in the context of modern astronomy, which helps to understand the harmony between the cosmic allegories of the Quran and modern science.

A prominent aspect of the research is the visual interpretation, in which Quranic concepts are visualized through pictorial references and structural representations. This aspect not only deepens the understanding of the meaning but also provides the reader with a visual perception of the Quran’s cosmic rhetoric.

The results show that the planetary images in the Quran are not mere scientific indications, but rather have deep spiritual and aesthetic insights, emerging as symbols of the wisdom, balance, and order of the Creator of the universe.
