→Meteors as stars fired at devils: I have added a line referencing the distance of empty space between stars referencing NASA sites, showing how the trillions of miles makes them an odd choice to be a 'protection'/guard'.

(→Meteors as stars fired at devils: I have added the sentence 'On a separate note, though stars are being described as an ornament or beauty for the sky in Quran 37:6-10 , 67:5, there are an estimated minimum c.100 septillion stars in the known universe, but only a few thousand are actually visible to us.' And the two sources listed are NASA and the ESA (European Space Agency) to confirm this - and challenge the idea that stars are designed as a ''beauty' for the sky as mentioned in the quran.) |

Stars are also an average 5 light years away from each other in our universe<ref>https://public.nrao.edu/ask/what-is-the-average-distance-between-stars-in-our-galaxy/</ref>. For context, light years are the distance travels in one year, which is 186,000 miles/300,000 kilometres per second, at 5.88 trillion miles/9.46 trillion kilometres per year<ref>https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/faq/26/what-is-a-light-year/</ref>, making them an odd choice for a protection/guard, with trillions of miles/kilometers of mostly empty space between them. | |||
