Allah informs us about His might, majesty and pride, meaning that all things
submit themselves to Him and every created being - animate and inanimate, as
well as the responsible - humans and Jinns, and the angels - all humble
themselves before Him. He tells us that everything that has a shadow leaning to
the right and the left, i.e., in the morning and the evening, is by its shadow,
prostrating to Allah. Mujahid said, "When the sun passes its zenith, everything
prostrates to Allah, may He be glorified.'' This was also said by Qatadah,
Ad-Dahhak and others.
[لِلَّهِ
وَهُمْ]
(while they are humble) means, they are in a state of humility. Mujahid also
said: "The prostration of every thing is its shadow'', and he mentioned the
mountains and said that their prostrations are their shadows. Abu Ghalib
Ash-Shaybani said: "The waves of the sea are its prayers''. It is as if reason
is attributed to these inanimate objects when they are described as prostrating,
so Allah says:
[وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ
مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ]
(And to Allah prostrate all that are in the heavens and all that are in the
earth, of the moving creatures) As Allah says:
[وَللَّهِ يَسْجُدُ
مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَظِلَـلُهُم بِالْغُدُوِّ
وَالاٌّصَالِ ]
(And to Allah (alone) all who are in the heavens and the earth fall in
prostration, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings
and in the afternoons.) (13:15)
[وَالْمَلَـئِكَةُ
وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ]
(and the angels, and they are not proud.) means, they prostrate to Allah and
are not too proud to worship Him.
[يَخَـفُونَ
رَبَّهُمْ مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ]
(They fear their Lord above them) means, they prostrate out of fear of their
Lord, may He be glorified.
[وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا
يُؤْمَرُونَ]
(and they do what they are commanded.) meaning they continually obey Allah,
doing what He tells them to do and avoiding that which He forbids.
[وَقَالَ اللَّهُ لاَ
تَتَّخِذُواْ إِلـهَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلـهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَإيَّـيَ
فَارْهَبُونِ - وَلَهُ مَا فِى الْسَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِبًا
أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ - وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ
إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْـَرُونَ - ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ الضُّرَّ
عَنْكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْكُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ - لِيَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ
ءاتَيْنَـهُمْ فَتَمَتَّعُواْ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ]
(51. And Allah said "Do not worship two gods. Indeed, He (Allah) is only One
God. Then fear Me Alone.) (52. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the
earth and the religion. Will you then fear any other than Allah) (53. And
whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allah. Then, when
harm touches you, unto Him you cry aloud for help.) (54. Then, when He has
removed the harm from you, behold! some of you associate others in worship with
their Lord (Allah).) (55. So they are ungrateful for that which We have given
them! Then enjoy yourselves but you will soon come to know.)
