Please consider the explanation below as a standard reference for Quranic verses relating to ” stars as missiles for the devils” .It is the best and most appropriate one from a scientific and theological perspective. Researchers ,translators and scholars are providing interpretation of theses verses that are scientifically inaccurate.
STARS RELEASE FLAMES FOR THE DEVILS
QURAN 67-5 “And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils”
Quran 72 (8-9)
And we(the devils/jinn) have sought (to reach) the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.
1-The flames for the devils/jinn come from stars.
2-Science cannot prove the existence of devils/jinn. It has to be accepted on the basis of faith.
3-Stars release a “”shihab” ie. flame/blaze
4-This flame has a negative effect on the devils/jinn.
5-In terms of modern astronomy this “shihab” could be stellar flares or a coronal mass ejection.
6- Astronomers discovered fairly recently that distant stars also release stellar flares and coronal mass ejections(similar to our sun)
7-IT IS NOT THE STAR ITSELF THAT HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE DEVILS/JINN BUT THE FLAME THAT A STAR RELEASES.
8-THE QURAN DOES NOT MAKE REFERENCE TO METEORS/SHOOTING STARS AS HAVING A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE DEVILS/JINN.
9- “Shihab” IS NOT TO BE TRANSLATED as shooting star ,meteorite ,meteor , comet or asteroid.
10-Allah SWT and His Prophet SAW know best
