If that's the case, then we don't "see" anything. Everything is reliant on light reaching us. Flowers, grass etc etc.
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. (74) Nay, I swear by the places of the stars - (75) And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew - (76) That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an
This is another translation of the relevant verses, which I looked for because I was having trouble understanding the context. It sounds like he's making an oath based on the position of the stars. As in, he is so sure of a stars permanent position that he swears his oath upon it. Again, to someone looking at stars from Earth, stars do not appear to move and appear to be in the same place day in and day out. But in actuality stars are in orbit as well, and they do actually move across the night sky because of the rotation of the Earth. Sounds like yet another innacuracy.
