67.5. And, indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven (the heaven of the world) with lamps (stars), and made (out of) them missiles to drive away devils; and for them, We have prepared (in the Hereafter) the punishment of the Blaze.
a world of deception
a world of truth
a world of nature
a world of perception
beauty is truth and truth' beauty'
Glory of the Creator manifest
in Light, sun or moon'
in nightly jewels best'
a world of wonder
a sky of thunder
Good thrown asunder
Of Man's first blunder?
shall it be then grace?
when changed was the face
taking the forbidden 'lace'
and defying glorious space?
meteor or a shooting star
flying stone of fire is one afar
a missile sent,on evil bent on
obdurate pride, clear or haar,
imagine if it is a meteor shower
how much pride, terror hate
would cover and infest
the world's rose flower bower?

A stunning juxtaposition of The Gift received and abuse of it. Well penned, Anjum.
Powerfully told - an impactful poem
An interesting take on the prompt Anjum.
Thank you Mr John
Thank you Sumana
Thanks Jae I am so honored
The quote is from the Quran? Powerful. Awe-inspiring, as is your poem. "The world's rose" arises in both beauty and deception. I fear a shower more powerful even than meteors.
Our presence, defy glorious space!
Yes. Thank you Dr Susan
The phenomenon of the shooting stars has been, explained in the Quran 15:16-18; and in 37:6-10, and notes can be found in Tafsir by Yusuf Ali. The ‘heavens typify not only beauty but power. The Good in Allah’s world is guarded and protected against every assault of Evil. A superb choice of Motif.
Indeed..and gratitude is the best action.
I love that closing line especially.
I enjoyed your interesting take. Thank you for sharing.
