آية: 49

وَلِلَّهِۤ يَسۡجُدُۤ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن دَآبَّةٖ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

(49) And to Allah prostrates^[3305] whatever is in the Heavens and whatever is on Earth of a moving creature and the angels ˹do so˺; they disdain not ˹from it˺^[3306].

[3305] Along with the actual prostration, ‘prostration’ could be figurative in that it denotes surrender and submission (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Wāḥidī, al-Shawkānī, Ibn ʿĀshūr). al-Rasʿanī reports that exegetes generally agree that the ‘prostration’ of rational beings is their worship of and submission to God Almighty; however, the ‘prostration’ of irrational beings is their falling in with God Almighty’s subjection of them, the execution of His Command in them and the showing of His Making on them. al-Saʿdī comments: “The prostration of creatures to Allah is of two kinds: a prostration of necessity (iḍṭirār) which is evidence of His Perfect Attributes. This prostration is general for all creatures; whether Believers or Deniers, pious or rebellious, articulate or inarticulate, etc. The other kind is the prostration of willingness (ikhtiyār) which is specific to Allah’s near and dear and His Believing servants; the angels and other creatures”: “Do you not see that to Allah prostrates whoever is in the Heavens and whoever is on the Earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many humans?” (22: 18).
[3306] “The Messiah would not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor would the drawn-near angels. Whoever disdains from worshipping Him and becomes arrogant, He will rally them all to Him ˹on the Day of Judgement˺” (4: 172).
