‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَأَلْقَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَٰرًا وَسُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ 15

  وَعَلَٰمَٰتٍ وَبِٱلنَّجْمِ هُمْيَهْتَدُونَ 16 

15.  And He hath cast into the earth firm hills that it quake not with you, and streams and roads that ye may find a way-

16.  And landmarks (too). And by the star they find a way.
15.  Wa  ‘alqaa  fil-‘arzi  rawaasiya  ‘an-  tamiida  bikum  wa  ‘an-haaranw-wa  subulal-la-‘allakum  tahtaduun.

16.  Wa  ‘alaamaat.  Wa  binnajmi  hum  yahtaduun.
      
Commentary

Rawaasiya – (fixed), it is plural of raasiyatun. This word has passed in the Chapter before the current. It aims - firm hills and mountains.

Tamiida – (it may quake, bend, tremble), this word has come out from maydun, which means “to bow towards any side”.

It is commanded: Do you know that which you see high mountains on the earth, Who created them and why? Listen! Allah Almighty created these heavy, firm and high hills and mountains. These are a source of keeping the earth firm and constant, so that lest the water soften it and on any day, the land sit down like a bubble along with you. Stony, hard and heavy particles of the hills do not dissolve in water and bear heavy blows of the sea. Moreover, snow falls and assembles on the peaks of the mountains, and it flows from height to downward after melting. And it irrigates dry lands after becoming rivers and canals. Besides this, passes, valleys and paths have been made into the mountains, so that these may not hinder the human beings from meeting with one another. These hills, springs and passes etc. are also useful as signs to establish different things and places of station.

Like this, stars are also very useful at night for knowing direction and correct way. Allah Almighty created these entire things for the help of mankind.
