As-Saffat, verse 8
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ
they cannot eavesdrop on the Higher Assembly––pelted from every side,
Word by word
Tap a word to hear it and see its root.
Tafsir
Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
This commentary covers the passage that begins at verse 37:6.
The Adornment and Protection of the Heaven comes from Allah Allah tells us that He has adorned the lowest heaven with the heavenly bodies for those among the people of the earth who look at it. The stars and planets in the sky give light to the people of earth, as Allah says: وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَهَا رُجُوماً لِّلشَّيَطِينِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ (And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin, and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire.)…
