We have adorned the lower heaven with lanterns, and made them missiles against the devils; and We have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
Does the Qur'an say shooting stars are missiles thrown at devils (67:5, 37:6-10)?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 67:5 Itani has "lanterns" in the lower heaven and "made them missiles against the devils". Pickthall has "lamps" and "missiles for the devils", and Sale has "appointed them to be darted at the devils". In all five what is set against the devils is the lamps or lights of the lower heaven.
- 02 37:6–10 At 37:6 Pickthall has "an ornament, the planets", and Palmer has "the adornment of the stars". At 37:8 Pickthall has "they are pelted from every side". At 37:10 the one who snatches a word is followed by what Pickthall calls "a piercing flame" and Sale "a shining flame".
- 03 72:8–9 Pickthall's bracket names the speakers as "the Jinn who had listened to the Qur'an". At 72:8 Pickthall has "strong warders and meteors", and Palmer has "a mighty guard and shooting-stars". At 72:9 Itani has "a projectile in wait for him", and Palmer has "finds a shooting-star for him on guard".
- 04 15:16–18 At 15:16 Pickthall has "mansions of the stars", and Palmer has "the signs of the zodiac". At 15:17 Pickthall has "every outcast devil". At 15:18 the one who steals a hearing is pursued: Itani has "a visible projectile", and Palmer has "an obvious shooting-star".
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The question asks whether the text says shooting stars are missiles thrown at devils. The words 'shooting star' are printed only by Palmer, at three verses of this set: 15:18, 72:8 and 72:9. The word 'missiles' is printed only at 67:5, by Itani and Pickthall.
At 67:5 all five print that the lamps of the lower heaven are set against the devils. Itani has "made them missiles against the devils", and Rodwell has "to be hurled at the Satans". Here the thing thrown is the lamps or lights that adorn the heaven.
At 37:6-10 and 15:16-18 the order is the same: the heaven is adorned, it is guarded from every devil, and one who listens by stealth is pursued. What pursues is a flame or a projectile, or in one rendering a shooting-star: at 15:18 Itani has "a visible projectile" and Palmer has "an obvious shooting-star", and at 37:10 Pickthall has "a piercing flame".
At 72:8-9 the speakers find the heaven filled with guards and with what Pickthall calls "meteors", Palmer "shooting-stars", and Rodwell "flaming darts".
So the five print that lamps of the lower heaven are made missiles against devils (67:5), and that a flame, a projectile, or in Palmer a shooting star pursues those who listen by stealth. Whether this matches what is seen in the sky is a comparison outside these five renderings, which this study does not make.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 67:5, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 4 passages, each with every cleared translation
4 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

37:6 Wir haben ja den untersten Himmel mit einem Schmuck geziert: mit den Himmelskörpern;
37:7 und als Schutz vor jedem rebellischen Satan.
37:8 Sie (also diese Satane) können der höchsten führenden Schar (der Engel) nicht zuhören, und sie werden von allen Seiten beworfen,
37:9 damit sie weggetrieben werden - und für sie wird es anhaltende Strafe geben -,
37:10 außer jemandem, der rasch etwas (an Wörtern) aufschnappt und den dann ein durchbohrend heller Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
37:6 Πράγματι, έχουμε στολίσει τον κοντινότερο ουρανό με τα αστέρια,
37:7 και τα κάναμε (τα αστέρια) ως προστασία (για τον κοντινότερο ουρανό) από κάθε επαναστατημένο διάβολο, (που τον λιθοβολούν αν προσπαθήσει να κρυφακούσει).
37:8 Δεν μπορούν (οι διάβολοι) να κρυφακούσουν την υψηλότερη σύναξη (των Αγγέλων στον ουρανό όταν μιλούν με ό,τι τους αποκάλυψε ο Αλλάχ), και (αν προσπαθήσουν να κρυφακούσουν), λιθοβολούνται από κάθε πλευρά,
37:9 για να τους διώξουν μακριά, και θα έχουν (την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως) ένα αιώνιο μαρτύριο.
37:10 (Δεν μπορούν οι διάβολοι να κρυφακούσουν τους Αγγέλους στον ουρανό) παρά μόνο όποιος (διάβολος) αρπάξει γρήγορα μερικές λέξεις, και αμέσως θα τον ακολουθήσει ένα λαμπερό διαπεραστικό πεφταστέρι.
37:6 निःसंदेह हमने संसार के आकाश को एक सुंदर शृंगार के साथ सुशोभित किया है, जो सितारे हैं।
37:7 और प्रत्येक सरकश शैतान से सुरक्षित करने के लिए।
37:8 वे सर्वोच्च सभा (मला-ए-आ'ला) के फ़रिश्तों की बात नहीं सुन सकते, तथा वे हर ओर से (उल्काओं से) मारे जाते हैं।
37:9 भगाने के लिए। तथा उनके लिए स्थायी यातना है।
37:10 परंतु जो कोई (शैतान फरिश्तों की किसी बात को) अचानक उचक ले जाए, तो एक दहकता हुआ अंगारा (उल्का)[2] उसका पीछा करता है।
37:6 In verità abbiamo abbellito il cielo inferiore con un ornamento: le stelle,

37:9 e saranno respinti, e avranno una punizione eterna,

37:6 6. Iš tiesų, Mes papuošėme artimiausią dangų žvaigždėmis (dėl grožio).
37:7 7. Ir kad saugotų nuo kiekvieno maištingo demono.
37:8 8. Jie negali klausytis aukštesnių grupių (angelų), nes yra apsvaidomi iš visų pusių.

37:8 Не могут они подслушать Высшее Сообщество, поражаемые со всех сторон,
37:9 отгоняемые с позором. И для них — непрерывное наказание.
37:10 Кроме тех, кто выхватит [весть] украдкой, и тогда его преследует пронзающий светоч.
37:6 Ми смо најближе небо звездама украсили,
37:7 и чувамо га од сваког пркосног ђавола
37:8 да не прислушкује анђеле узвишене. Њих са свих страна гађају,
37:9 па бивају прогнани: њих чека непрекидна патња,
37:10 а онога који шта уграби - стигне светлећа буктиња.
37:6 Hakika Sisi tumeipamba mbingu ya karibu kwa pambo la nyota.

37:6 Vi har prytt den lägsta himlen med stjärnornas skimrande ljus,
37:7 och skyddat den mot varje upprorisk djävul.
37:8 De kan inte tjuvlyssna på den högsta församlingen utan att angripas [med stjärnskott] från alla håll –
37:9 fördrivna – och för dem väntar ett oupphörligt straff.
37:10 Om någon snappar upp något [som sagts i den högsta församlingen] följs han av ett flammande stjärnskott.
37:6 Biz, en yakın göğü yıldızlarla süsledik.
37:7 Ve onu (göğü) kovulmuş Şeytanlar'dan koruduk.
37:8 Onlar, artık mele-i a'la'ya (yüce topluluğa) kulak veremezler. Her taraftan taşlanırlar.
37:9 Kovularak uzaklaştırılmış (olurlar) ve onlar için elem dolu bir azap vardır.
37:10 Ancak bir (söz) çalıp kapan olursa onu da parlak bir ateş izler.
37:6 ہم نے آسمان دنیا کو ستاروں کی زینت سے آراستہ کیا.
37:7 اور حفاﻇت کی سرکش شیطان سے.[1]
37:8 عالم باﻻ کے فرشتوں (کی باتوں) کو سننے کے لئے وه کان بھی نہیں لگا سکتے، بلکہ ہر طرف سے وه مارے جاتے ہیں.
37:9 بھگانے کے لئے اور ان کے لئے دائمی عذاب ہے.
37:10 مگر جو کوئی ایک آدھ بات اچک لے بھاگے تو (فوراً ہی) اس کے پیچھے دہکتا ہوا شعلہ لگ جاتا ہے.

Inquire of them, "Are they more difficult to create, or the others We created?" We created them from sticky clay.
Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay
Ask them whether they are stronger by nature or (the angels) whom we have created? We have created them of sticky clay
Ask the Meccans then, Are they, or the angels whom we have made, the stronger creation? Aye, of coarse clay have we created them
Ask the Meccans therefore, whether they be stronger by nature, or the angels whom We have created? We have surely created them of stiff clay

And we formerly attempted to pry into what was transacting in heaven; but we found the same filled with a strong guard of angels, and with flaming darts

And there are among us good, and others among us of another kind; - we are of various sorts
There are some among us who are upright; and there are some among us who are otherwise: We are of different ways
15:16–18

15:18 परंतु जो (शैतान) चोरी-छिपे सुनना चाहे, तो एक स्पष्ट ज्वाला (उल्का) उसका पीछा[5] करती है।
15:16 E abbiamo stabilito in cielo dei segni zodiacali, e lo abbiamo abbellito per gli osservatori,

The translators word this verse differently
Even if We opened for them a gateway into the sky, and they began to ascend through it.
And even if We opened unto them a gate of heaven and they kept mounting through it
But had we opened to them a door of the sky and they had mounted up into it all the while
Even were We to open above them a gate in Heaven, yet all the while they were mounting up to it
If We should open a gate in the heaven above them, and they should ascend thereto all the day long

They would still say, "Our eyes are hallucinating; in fact, we are people bewitched."
They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched
then also had they said, 'Our eye-sight is only intoxicated; nay, we are an enchanted people
They would surely say: It is only that our eyes are drunken: nay, we are a people enchanted
they would surely say, our eyes are only dazzled; or rather we are a people deluded by enchantments

The translators word this verse differently
We spread the earth, and placed stabilizers in it, and in it We grew all things in proper measure.
And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein
And the earth we have stretched out and have thrown on it firm mountains, and have caused to grow upon it of everything a measured quantity
And the Earth have We spread forth, and thrown thereon the mountains, and caused everything to spring forth in it in balanced measure
We have also spread forth the earth, and thrown thereon stable mountains; and we have caused every kind of vegetable to spring forth in the same, according to a determinate weight

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it1 of the 1 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The question names 67:5 and 37:6-10, so both are carried. 72:8-9 and 15:16-18 are carried because they print the same guarding of the heaven and are the verses where the words in the question appear. Probes were run on all five renderings, whole word. 'shooting-stars?|shooting stars?' returns 3 lines, all Palmer, at 15:18, 72:8 and 72:9. 'meteors?' returns 2 lines, both Pickthall: one at 72:8 and one at a verse that does not speak of devils. 'missiles?' returns 2 lines, Itani and Pickthall at 67:5. This study does not compare the text with what is seen in the sky; that comparison lies outside the five renderings.
