Did the Seven Wandering Stars ("Planets") Transgress the Command of God as Stated in the Book of Enoch?

Qur'anic Warners
 

And although this does seem to fit nicely with the seven planets moving differently from the stars, and even I erroneously believed and falsely taught that the seven "planets" were stars that transgressed the command of God because it seemed to fit the flat earth model…

 

The Stars are Actually Subjected by God's Command and so they do what they are Commanded

For they have been Given Work to do and so they are Obedient, Whereby God Adorned the Heaven with Stars and as Protection Against Every Rebellious Devil

Isaiah 45:12, Torah
[So remember that God said,] "I have made the earth, and created man upon it, I, [even] My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their host [including the stars]."

[Baruch 6:59], Torah
[And thus,] the sun, the moon and the stars, which shine and have been given work to do, are obedient [to God];

[Book of Enoch 21:6], Torah
[But the Book of Enoch says that "There] are some of the stars which transgressed the command of the Lord Most High, and they have been bound here until ten thousand ages are completed; the number of days of their sin."

16:12, Qur'an
[But] the stars are subjected by His command, [and] He has subjected the night and day and the sun and moon for you. Indeed, there are signs in that for a people who reason -

Job 9:7, Torah
[For God] commands the sun, and it does not rise; and He seals up the stars.

Psalms 147:4, Torah
[And] He tells the number of the stars, [and] He calls them all by [their] names.

[Baruch 3:35], Torah
[And] when He calls them, they answer, "Here we are;" [and] they shine to delight their Creator.

55:6, Qur'an
And [indeed,] the stars and trees prostrate [to God] -

16:49 - 50, Qur'an
[For] whatever is in the heavens prostrates to God and whatever is on the earth of creatures, and the angels [as well], and they are not arrogant. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded -

Psalms 148:3 - 6, Torah
[So] praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you stars of light. Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that [are] above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded, and they were created. He has also established them forever and ever, He has made a decree which will not pass [away] -

17:44, Qur'an
[Whereby] the seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [God] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting.

[Prayer of Azariah 1:41], Torah
[So] sing praise to Him [you] stars of heaven and highly exalt Him forever.

41:12, Qur'an
[For] He completed [the heavens] as seven heavens within two days and inspired the command in each heaven. And We adorned the heaven of this world with lamps and as protection. That is the determination of the Almighty, the Knowing -

37:6 - 10, Qur'an
[Whereby] We have adorned the heaven of this world with an adornment of stars and as protection against every rebellious devil. [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side, repelled; and there is a constant punishment for them, except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

[Baruch 3:34], Torah
[So indeed,] the stars shine joyfully at their posts -

15:16 - 18, Qur'an
[For] We have placed strongholds within the heaven and have beautified it for the observers. And We have protected it from every expelled devil, except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

 

And Thus, the Qur'an Clearly Corrects that Stars Rebelled, for Stars do What they are Commanded
