But the name of Aaron means "Exalted Mountain" and hadiths talk these being the Imams. Like wise, there is a hidden meaning to the day and night, with the descent of light and ascension unveiling of light.
Lamps in the sky is also not referring to physical stars, but is referring to a metaphysical reality. The Quran is a book about spiritual journey to God.
In the 2nd chapter in the beginning, God says he is not ashamed of giving any parable, of a gnat or what is above that. He gives also sorts of parables. It says it's self "And we given in this Quran from all types of parables..."
Earth and sky is not literal in most places, and the 6 days creation is referring to something else, and days refers to something else. Imam Khomeini talked about this in forty hadiths but most people are unaware of the parables in the Quran.
Once again, other religions have holy books with pretty words in them too. The Koran has no special powers.
