Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
And verily We have adorned the lowest heaven the one closest to the earth with lamps with stars and made them missiles against the devils should they attempt to listen by stealth in which case a meteor of fire detaches itself from the star just like a brand is taken from a fire and either kills that jinn or deprives him of his senses it is not that the star itself is displaced from its position; and We have prepared for them the chastisement of the Blaze the ignited Fire.
