"And We have made in the sky towers {Asteroids} and made the sky attractive for on lookers
And We have made the sky of earth safe from every Cursed and condemned Satan; except { regard to safety} that he who listens clandestinely, therefore for that a visible flame hurls towards him" {Refer 15:16-18}
YUSUFALI: It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders; And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil: But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see) PICKTHAL: And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. And We have guarded it from every outcast devil, Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. SHAKIR: And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholder And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame.
YUSUF ALI: And We have made the heavens as a canopy well guarded: PICKTHAL: And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). SHAKIR: And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy .
"Permanence is for The One Who has made in the sky of earth towers/structures {Asteroids} and made in it Sun and a Reflecting Moon" {Refer 25:61}
YUSUF ALI: Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light; PICKTHAL: Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light! SHAKIR: Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavens and made therein a lamp and a shining moon.
{The sky of the earth has nothing to do with the constellations, in astronomy, any of imagined 88 groupings of bright stars that appear on the celestial sphere. Sky of earth does not have بنجوم stars}
"By the Sky, which is the possessor/holder of Asteroids" {Refer 85:01}
YUSUFALI: By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; PICKTHAL: By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, SHAKIR: I swear by the mansions of the stars,
"We have adorned the one sky of world with the attraction/beauty of Planets" {37:06}
And made it safe from every Rebellious Satan
YUSUFALI: (For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits, PICKTHAL: With security from every froward devil. SHAKIR: And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
Who cannot listen the talk of the Exalted Chiefs and they are hurled from every side {swarmed} to expel/push them away, and for them is {awaiting} perpetual torment;
except that if someone clandestinely overheard something a hurling fire ball follows him"{37:06-10}
The word from Root "ش ه ب" is said of heat altering the color, whiteness predominated over blackness; a piece of wood in which fire is gleaming or radiating; fireball as explained in verse 27:07
When Musa said to his family, "I have seen fire, I will bring to you from there some news
or I will bring a firebrand/fireball so that you may warm yourselves" {Refer 27:07}
The summary of the information so far read is that the sky of earth has بُرٌوجًا denoting towers built on the boundary wall of palaces for the stationing/sitting of guards which implies the smallness of their structure but in numbers larger. And it is told that to keep the evil satins away from listening to the "Exalted Chiefs" they are hurled/swarmed to frighten and expel them away. However if someone succeeds in listening few words clandestinely a fireball with streak of light chases/follows him. It may be noted that all the three thingsبُرٌوجًا , يُقذَفُونَ and are distinct from each other. And the only interest of the evil satins is to get/listen some information from the Grand Chiefs talks. The point to find out is regarding from where and how they are swarmed/darted and what is , a fireball hurled in a piercing manner with bright streak of light.
"And We have adorned the sky of the world with comets and made it safe" {Refer 41:12}
"And We have adorned the sky of the world with comets and made those a source of hurling for Evil Ones" {who come there to listen something} {Refer 67:05}
Re: Why and how the sky of world has been made safe from Evil ones?
As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
It seems that are the ones appointed for organizing and implementing the commands of Allah with regard to the humanity and in listening their talk the evil satins are interested to get some news and then convey it to people to make them their friends.
It seems that humanity has nothing to fear from these asteroids, meteor shower and comets. Let them roam about as they want to. If some asteroid or comet struck our land 65 million years ago resulting in the disappearance of the last of the dinosaurs that too was good for us otherwise they would have been a source of nuisance for humanity. There is something good and remarkable to watch and study them but there is little logic to pick up quarrels with them. Moreover it is not the celestial bodies that we should be afraid of; we should care for the One Who created them to serve us since:
Do they not see/ponder over what was before them and hidden/behind them in the sky and earth
If it is Our will/wish We could cause the earth to swallow them up. or cause something from sky to fall on them" {Refer 34:09}
"And if they would see some piece from sky falling they would {presume and} say "a heap {piled up} of clouds" {Refer 52:44}
This reflects the possibility of falling something on earth from the sky. But if it happened {Allah forbids} all our gadgetry will make us presume that it is nothing but just piled up dust. It is mentioned about an old civilization Ad:
"And when they thought/saw that as dense cloudy coming towards their valley they said, "This is a cloud, it will give us rain"
{They were told} "No, it is that you sought to hasten, it is wind in which there is a grievous punishment;
It will destroy everything by the command of its Lord". And then the result was that it ended with nothing was left to be seen except their houses/buildings. This is how We punish the guilty people"
And they were the people whom We had firmly established with power which We have not given to you and We had given them faculty of listening, seeing and interpreting/intellect/knowledge/know how/technology but all their faculties of knowledge did not profit/saved them when they deliberately denied the words of Allah and were then completely encircled by that {warning} which they used to mock/ridicule" {Refer 46:24-26}
It was cold wind that kept blowing for 8 days and seven nights. It lifted people and struck them against walls and everything. One can imagine the speed and intensity of it and the pains and cries of those people. That was the sorrow end of a very flourishing civilization equipped with wealth and knowledge. May Allah be kind to us.
