All Glorify God: The entire universe with all that lives in it, human and jinn, planets and stars, and all beings, whether animate or inanimate, sharing in God’s glorification. We feel how awesome the scene is as we hear the glorification echoed everywhere in the heavens and the earth: Are you not aware that it is God whose limitless glory all creatures that are in the heavens and earth extol, even the birds as they spread out their wings? Each of them knows how to pray to Him and to glorify Him; and God has full knowledge of all that they do. (SurahAl-Nūr (Light),Verse 41, Tafsir fi zilalil Quran) Man does not live alone in this universe. All around him, to his right and to his left, above him and beneath him, and in the expanse beyond, whether reached by his imagination or not, there are beings God has created with different natures, forms and shapes. All share in their belief in God, turn to Him and extol His praises. He “has full knowledge of all that they do.” The Qur’ān directs man to look around him: all is of God’s making and all living things everywhere in the heavens and the earth are His creatures, glorifying Him and singing His praises. The Qur’ān also directs our full attention to something we see every day without stirring any feeling in us because of its familiarity: it is the scene of birds lifting up their legs and spreading out their wings as they fly. They also glorify God. “Each of them knows how to pray to Him and to glorify Him.” (Verse 41) Only man neglects to glorify his Lord when he is the one who should be most aware of the importance of believing in God and glorifying Him.(Tafsir fi zilalil Quran)
