Al-Mulk 67:5
The lamps of the sky
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَٰهَا رُجُومًۭا لِّلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٥
The meaning, simply
Allah decorated the nearest sky with shining stars, and made from them shooting stars that are thrown at the devils who try to listen in secret. And He has prepared for them the punishment of the Fire in the Hereafter.
