سُبْحَانَهُ
وَتَعَالَى
عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ
عُلُوًّا
كَبِيرًا ﴿٤٣﴾
17:43. Glory to Him!
He is high above all that they say! -- Exalted and Great (beyond measure)!
تُسَبِّحُ
لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ
السَّبْعُ
وَالأَرْضُ
وَمَن فِيهِنَّ...
17:44. The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein, declare His glory:
...وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ...
there not a thing but celebrates His praise; and yet ye understand not how they declare His glory!
C2229. All Creation, animate and inanimate, sings Allah's praises and celebrates His glory,
- animate, with consciousness, and
- inanimate, in the evidence which it furnishes of the unity and glory of Allah.
All Nature bears witness to His power, wisdom, and goodness. It is only "ye", i.e., those who reject the whole trend of your nature and deny Faith simply because ye have been given a limited amount of choice and free-will,
- it is only such as "ye" that understand not what every other creature understands and proclaims with joy and pride.
What must be your degradation! And yet Allah bears with you and forgives you! Such is His goodness! (R).
...إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا ﴿٤٤﴾
Verily He is Oft-Forbearing, Most Forgiving!
