Verses 16-18HOW THE DEVILS ARE WARDED OFF?

      In the first verse, reference is made to the apparent constellation which is a spot on the face of heavens, to give us some account of how great the universe is; and how greater is the Creator and designer of the billions of million celestial bodies that exist.

      The Arabic, ``BORJ'' literally means appearance and tower; and the towers of the sky is a technical term which refers to the 12 constellations of the path of sun which is called the, ``ZODIAC'':ِ (for more information about the ZODIAC please refer to the translator's note at the end of this article)

      ``And verily We have set the 12 constellations of Zodiac in the sky, and adorned it for those who behold.''

      In a dark night, have a look at the sky and see the beautiful twinkling stars that are scattered in groups, and constellations and configurations, united in one luster throughout the sky overhead. The configurations of stars are so arrayed and arranged that one like the great mystic, ATTAR NISHÄBURI may think they have held a meeting, and are staring at us and whispering to each other! Just like the Sufis in robe, calm and quiet they are wandering day and night in search of their own Creator. Some of them seem to be inviting us to themselves, and some others are so shining that we may think they are coming toward us. Some of them also dimly cry from the depth of the heavens, as if they want to say; ``O, Man we are here!''

      This attractive and poetical scenery that may seem something ordinary and natural in the sight of some people due to repetition of view, is far more fascinating and bewitching that one may think of! In times when the moon appears among them with all its beauty and glory, it gives new aspect to the view. After the sun-set they begin to appear one after the other, as if they come on the stage from behind a curtain, and finally they conceal themselves at the sun rise. The face and feature of the sky is so beautified that for centuries it has attracted the eye and attention of Man, specially the learned man of wisdom and knowledge!

      The next verse points to God's care for the sky:ِ

      ``And We have guarded them against all accursed Satans, except those who eavesdropped, then pursued him a clear shootingِstar!''
