Explanatory Note

Another function of the stars and their satellites is also mentioned in the sūrah, demonstrating how some of them are shooting stars and piercing flames that target the jinn, preventing them from getting close to those on high.

This means that some of the shooting stars we see guard the skies against rebellious devils to prevent them from eavesdropping on those on high. Such devils on the Day of Judgement will be punished further. However, a rebellious devil might stealthily snatch something of what goes on among the angels on high, but as this devil descends, a piercing flame pursues and burns him.
