Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
DEVILS ARE DRIVEN AWAY BY SHOOTINGِSTARS (VERSES NO. 16 - 18) THE ZODIAC

      The last verse is one of those about which the commentators have discussed a lot:ِ

Some of them like author of, ``Al-ZALÄL'' have by-passed it saying; We cannot apprehend the meaning of the verse now. So they have abstained from commenting it, and say; What is Satan? How does he want to eavesdrop? And what does he want to listen to it secretly? All these are among the Divine Unseen and applying to it will come to no result; and will only occupy our mind and thought in vain!

      But we are of opinion that Qurän is a Book, revealed to develop man spiritually as well as physically. Therefore, nothing is written in this Book which is not related some how to Man's life and fate. So taking such positions in relation to Qurän is not right.

Some of the commentators of Qurän, specially the pristine writers, have taken the apparent literal denotation of the words as true. To them the sky here is the high blue ceiling which is held overhead the globe, and by SHAHÄB the real shootingِstar is meant, which is a transient celestial body that enters the earth's atmosphere with great velocity, incandescent with heat generated by the resistance and friction of the air. And also Satan is the famous accursed Jinn who is Man's avowed enemy, willing to eavesdrop, or stand under the eaves to listen to whispers or talks to misuse them.

      Science has already proved that, all the speeches and conversations of man may go up through sound waves at the upper sections of the atmosphere. So is the case with the light waves or photons, which take with them all the actions and features of man and animal, and all. Therefore, if an intelligent living creature could go up having the necessary equipments or faculties, he would be able to hear and see, or in other word, to detect what men over the earth say or do! But the task is not so easy and the eavesdropper is unfortunate for being encountered with great showers of meteors that turn into shootingِstars when they enter the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere. (More about the METEORS, we have written in V.3ِP.124ِ126)

      To explain the verse allegorically; the characters are taken as symbols. Then the sky might be the spiritual heavens wherein the angels live, and the shootingِstars are the truthful believers like the prophet's companions. Then the evil-doers and the followers of Satan try to make mischief and cause disorder and confusion in the spiritual matters, but the godly men like the shootingِstars rush upon them, their weapons being logic and reason, and render their efforts ineffective.
