So he says a Najmuth Thakab. The interesting thing here is that you have in the previous Surah a reference to the

fortresses

Which I told you are defensive installations

And now you've got the word Thakab which which means piercing through Thakabah to pierce through a hole or to you know

Like a catapult or a you know a cannon or something hit so well and goes right through it

That's the idea of Thakabah to bore through to pierce through and the idea of the stars light piercing through the darkness and reaching all the way to us

That's sort of the idea

But the attribute Thakabah is used elsewhere in the Quran too, and it's an interesting correlation

Ilaman khattif al-Khatt fatah fa at ba'ahu shihabun Thakabah

Meaning the jinn if I if you remember the jinn tried to steal information from the sky and

When they do what Allah does is there's a there's a meteor a burning star

That is shot at them that pierces through and shoots at them and

For those that get too close and actually goes right through the meaning it shoots them dead

That's what it does the word Thakabah is used there again in other words

It's a mental connection that's been drawn in the Quran of the idea of the stars being defensive installations that protect the skies

That Shayatine don't have access to and that that from which that the the revelation descends and also the ones that have close

Watch on all the criminal behavior that's been going on

So from a Najmuth Thakab you're kind of getting the notion that the star that's twinkling at me is actually

The visitor that's visiting me by his sight

Meaning these stars are almost a representation even of the angels the angels that Allah has sent us witness over us

They are by the stars. They are by the guruj of the stars
