They say the Qur'an
is like a bottomless ocean of knowledge.

from the Divine. still, he who dives
into its depth collects just a handful of
pearls- so what of those who idle
at its shore?
When the Stars Prostrated is a meditative, verse-by-verse
journey into the heart of Surat Yusuf. Revealed to Prophet
Muhammad in his period of loss and mourning, and
lauded by God as "the best of stories," Surat Yusuf bears
relevance to modern readers of all ages. It is an intimate
guide for enduring hardship with patience, hope, and, most
importantly, trust in the grand workings of the Divine. But
deriving these lessons isn't an effortless pursuit. Tadabbur,
the art of contemplating the meaning of a verse to its end,
requires our companionship and sincere engagement with
the Qur'an. In this collection of short essays, two writers lay
bare the pearls they carry from their own tadabbur journey.
Every passage is a blend of classical exegesis and personal
insight to show readers that healing, growth, and spiritual
ascension through Surat Yusuf can be anyone's reality.
