Basically, the interpretation of "Anzala/descend"[1] in the verses of the Qur'an makes it clear that the meaning of "descend" from the holy position of the Lord to the heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). In the hadiths, the intention of these terms can be seen. For example, in a hadith from Imam Muhammad Baqir (peace be upon him), we read: "Like the disbelievers, their deeds do not rise to the sky".[2] It is clear that the sky in such hadiths does not refer to this sensual sky. From this we conclude that the sky is used both in its material sense and in its spiritual sense.

Meaning of "Astrology":

After stating this meaning about "sky", we should also pay attention to the point that "astronomy"; (Stars) also has a material meaning, which are the same stars that can be seen in the sky, and a spiritual meaning, which refers to scientists and personalities who enlighten human societies. Just as people find their way in the dark nights in the desert by getting help from the strars, the masses of people in human communities also find the way of life and prosperity with the help of these knowledgeable and faithful scholars and leaders...

In the interpretation of Ali Ibn Ibrahim, in verse 97 of Surah An'am which says: “He is the one who placed the stars for you so that you can be guided by them in the darkness of land and sea”[3], It is narrated that the Imam said: "Al-Nujumu Alu Muhammed"[4] (the stars are the Prophet's Ahl al-Bait).
