ALL THINGS PROSTRATE
THEMSELVES BEFORE HIM
Do they not see the things Allah has created, casting their shadows
to the right and to the left, prostrating themselves before Allah in
complete humility? Everything in the heavens and every creature
on the earth prostrates to Allah, as do the angels. They are not
puffed up with pride. (Qur'an, 16:48-49)
Prostrate to Him during the night and glorify Him throughout
the long night. (Qur'an, 76:26)
Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and everyone on the
earth prostrates to Allah, and the sun and moon and stars and the
mountains, trees and beasts and many of mankind? But many of
them inevitably merit punishment. Those Allah humiliates will
have no one to honour them. Allah does whatever He wills.
(Qur'an, 22:18)

HE IS THE GLORIFIED ONE
The thunder glorifies His praise, as do the angels, out of fear of
Him. He discharges the thunderbolts, striking with them anyone
He wills. Yet still they argue about Allah when He is inexorable in
His power! (Qur'an, 13:13)
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify
Him. There is nothing which does not glorify Him with praise but
you do not understand their glorification. He is All-Forbearing,
Ever-Forgiving. (Qur'an, 17:44)
Everyone in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Those in
His presence do not consider themselves too great to worship Him
and do not grow tired of it. They glorify Him by night and day,
without ever flagging. (Qur'an, 21:19-20)
Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and earth glorifies
Allah, as do the birds with their outspread wings? Each one knows
its prayer and glorification. Allah knows what they do. (Qur'an,
24:41)
