7 Preface وَحِفظًا مِن كُلِّ شَيطانٍ مارِدٍYusuf Ali(For beauty) and for guard1 against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,Verses 7-11 seem to refer to shooting stars- Cf. 15:17-18, and notes 1951-53. The heavens typify not only beauty but power. The Good in God’s world is guarded and protected against every assault of Evil. The Evil is not part of the heavenly system: it is a thing in outlawry, merely a self-willed rebellion-"cast away on every side, repulsed under a perpetual penalty” (verses 8-9).
