Question:

What is the meaning of Al-Buruj? What is the exact Tafseer of Al-Buruj?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 
The saying of Allaah (which means): {By the sky, with its constellations.}[Qur'an 85:1]. The constellations mark the twelve positions of the sun and the moon. The sun travels through each of them for one month, the moon travels through each for 2 days, which totals 28 positions. This is the interpretation chosen by Imaam At-Tabari may Allaah have mercy upon him. However, there are other interpretations about the above verse.  

Allaah knows best.
