 It's a long informative lecture. Please watch this with patience.
 

Isn't the verse taking about Muhammad's (PBUH) time? That means  these stars were formed and have been working as missiles since 7th century which is 1400 years ago!!!!


 Allah says in the Quran :

 41:12 "So he ordained them seven heavens in two periods, and revealed in every heaven its affair; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars and made it to guard; that is the decree of the Mighty, the knowing."


 From the above verse we can see that the stars have been guarding the Universe since their inception. Or we might say long before Muhammad (PBUH).

Assalamualykum.

 Some people claim that Quran doesn't really talk about cosmic rays through verse 67:5 and other similar verses. Rather it talks about meteors. They quote the following hadith in support of their claim:


 Ibn Abbas narrated from one of the companions of the Prophet (saw) from among the Ansar, who said that they were with the Prophet (saw) one night and they witnessed a shooting star. The Prophet (saw) asked them,

"What did you say during the days of ignorance concerning a shooting star like that?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best. We used to say that on that night an important person was born or an important person had died."

The Prophet (saw) said, "It does not do so because of the death or birth of anyone. But when Allah (swt) decides an affair, the inhabitants who carry the Throne sing His praise, and so do the ones of the next heaven and so forth until the lowest heaven. Then those are close to those who carry the Throne say to those who carry the Throne, "What did your Lord say?" And they are then informed about what Allah has decreed. And they pass this news to the next heaven and so forth until it reaches the lowest heaven. Then the jinn listen in and pass on the word to their servants. When the angels notice them they attack them with meteors. If all that they [the jinn] would relate is only that which they actually had heard, they would be truthful; but, instead, they mix it with lies and make additions to it."


 They say from the above Hadith it's clear that Quran is talking about something seen directly from Earth. But we know that cosmic rays aren't seen from the Earth.


 Okay, logically the above Hadith can't be true at all. Because stars have no relation with meteors. And it also says that Jiinns used to travel to the lowest heaven stealing the secret information  to convey them to the fortune tellers. So Allah made the stars a guard against them so that they can't enter the lowest heaven. But, how it's possible?? Because stars have been there from the inception of the Universe serving as guards against the devils. Can anyone please help me with this? Muhammad (PBUH) can't say such a thing. Becuase it doesn't really make any sense. Allah Himself declares:

 Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.(53:3)

Thanks brother Osama and brother Mclinkin94 for your excellent answers. May Allah bless you two. Ameen.

 وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ


 Translation:


'' And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.''

''And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame.''



 Okay my question is, the word وَجَعَلْنَاهَا should be translated as ''We made it" not ''We made them''. وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ means ''We made them''. Well, can anyone clarify this? Why the word رُجُومًا is translated as ''Missiles''? It actually means ''stones'' or ''throwing''.  And how can stars be thrown at the devils? Please explain this with proofs from dictionaries

Assalamualykum.
