(→‎The stars, planets, and meteors: I have added in a few more verses covering stars as a protective function for more context. And linked the 'Science and the seven Earths' page which has more hadith on this topic.)

This appears to be part of the protective role of the heavens.

{{Quote|{{Quran|15|16-18}}|And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. And We have guarded it from every outcast devil, save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue.}}
The following verses further clarify the reason for this protection; so that rebellious devils may not listen to the 'exalted assembly'.


{{Quote|{{Quran|37|6-10}}|Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars And as protection against every rebellious devil [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side, Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment, Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].}}

And the sky/heaven containing guards [ḥaras], who are assuredly angels (who also make up the exalted assembly), as confirmed by later hadith (For example [https://quranx.com/Hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-26/Hadith-5538/ Sahih Muslim 26:5538] and [https://quranx.com/Hadith/IbnMajah/DarusSalam/Volume-1/Book-1/Hadith-194/ Sunan Ibn Majah 1:1:194]) and commentaries on these verses.{{Quote|{{Quran-range|72|8|9}}|And we 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.}}
See also {{Quran|15|16-18}} and {{Quran-range|72|8|9}}.
