The Whole Creation Prostrates before Allah

The sky, the wind, the trees, the stars, the wings, the trees, the water, all the creatures of the earth and the heavens and the earth are all created by God. Everything in this huge creation world worships the great Lord. Everyone bowed their head in the court of Alamin. Only disobedient slaves are found in mankind. No other creature is disobedient to God Almighty. Everyone is obedient and loyal. Everyone prostrates to God. In the Holy Qur’an, Irshad says, “Have you not seen that there is in the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the beasts and the animals and many people who worship Allah? Punishment is due to many. No one can honor him. God does whatever He wills.” (Surah Hajj: 16)
Everything in the world prostrates for the great God. Irshad has said, ‘And prostrate to Allah whatever is in the heavens and the earth and their shadows (prostrate) morning and evening ও willingly and unwillingly.’ (Surah Rad, verse: 15)
To show the lost mankind to be grateful to their Lord, the Almighty Lord further said, “Among His Signs are the day, the night, the sun and the moon. You shall not prostrate to the sun, nor to the moon; Worship Him.” (Surah Ha-Meem: 36). The Holy Qur’an further states, “They prostrate to Allah in all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and the angels; they are not arrogant.” (Surah Nahl:49-50). The Great Creator calls upon His beloved servants to perform regular prayers and other acts of worship, and says, “O you who believe, bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do good deeds, so that you may prosper.” (Surat al-Hajj: 7)
One of the purposes of human creation is to worship Allah. The essence of worship is to surrender oneself most humbly to the highest being. Literally it is all possible through prostration. At the beginning of human creation, the original father Adam (peace be upon him) was instructed to prostrate by making it the ‘Qibla’. This instruction was directly to Iblis and indirectly to the angels. The angels follow this instruction. But Iblis refuses to prostrate. The greatness and significance of prostration is revealed through this incident. Prostration was never an act of worship for Adam (pbuh). Rather, it was to show respect for mankind. In fact, prostration is the due of Allah and the best of all acts of worship towards Allah. Allah Almighty has instructed people to pray. Since then, people all over the world have determined the Kaaba as a symbol of prostration. As a result, people all over the world have been using the Kaaba as a Qibla by the command of Allah. In the same way, at the beginning of creation, Adam (peace be upon him) was instructed to make ‘Qibla’ and prostrate.
Everything in the world prostrates for the great God. Irshad has said, “And prostrate to Allah whatever is in the heavens and the earth and their shadows (prostrate) morning and evening ও willingly and unwillingly.” (Surah Rad: 15)
Elsewhere Allah further says, “Do you not see that Allah prostrates all that is in the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, the constellations, the mountains, the trees, the animals and many people. And many people (who refused to prostrate) have been punished. And whomsoever Allah humiliates, there is none to honor him. Surely Allah does what He wills.” (Surah Hajj: 17)
All living and inanimate things in the heavens and the earth worship or prostrate to Allah. But no one will be accounted for and tested except humans and genes. This test of prostration will be in this world and in the hereafter. A group prostrates to Allah in the world. In the trial of the Hereafter too, this party will be victorious by prostrating under the feet of Allah, reaching the nearness of Allah.
Will live happily in eternal paradise. Others, on the other hand, do not prostrate to God. They do not surrender to God. Concerning them, Allah the Almighty said, “So what is the matter with them that they do not believe, and when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not make obeisance?” (Surah Inshiqaq, verses 20-21)
This group of disbelievers will not be able to prostrate in the Hereafter in the test of Allah because they do not prostrate. As a result, they will be thrown into Hell. In this regard, Allah said in Quran, “Remember, the day when the ankles will be exposed and they will be called to prostrate, but they will not be able to do so.”
“They will be humbled, they will be humiliated. But when they were healthy and normal, they were called to prostrate. So leave those who deny this word in my hands, I will catch them so slowly that they will not know.” (Surah: Qalam: 42-44)
In this regard, it has been narrated in the hadith, “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah the Almighty will say to the people, Am I your Lord? Everyone will say, yes, you are our Lord. (At that time) no one will speak to him except the prophets. God will ask them, “Do you know any sign of it?” They will say, the freshness of the foot tube. At that time the foot tube will be opened. Then all the believers will fall in prostration. But those who prostrated themselves before Allah in the world will remain. If they want to prostrate at that time, the bones of their spine will harden and become like a plank (so they will not be able to prostrate).” (Bukhari, Hadith: 6439)
Not only in the lower world, but also in the upper world. There the angels prostrate before God Almighty. Irshad said, “Do they not look at the things created by Allah? Their shadows fall to the right and to the left, prostrating themselves to God humbly? All the creatures in the heavens and the earth prostrate to God, and so do the angels. And they are not arrogant.” (Surah Nahl: 48-49)
Narrated Abu Hurairah (R.A.), The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “The servant is closer to Allah when he prostrates. So keep on praying more.” (Muslim, Hadith: 462)
Narrated Rabi’ah Ibn Qab (may Allah be pleased with him), he said, “I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). Once I fetched water for his aju and istenja. Then he said to me, if you have something to ask, you can ask. Then I asked, O Messenger of Allah! I want to be in paradise with you. Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said, do you want anything other than that? I said, that’s what I want. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Then help me in this matter by prostrating more and more.” (Muslim, Hadith: 479)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “I will be able to recognize any of my ummah on the Day of Resurrection. The disciples ask, How do you recognize them among so many people? He said, “If you enter a stable where there are only black horses with white hands, feet and mouths, will you not be able to distinguish between the two?” The disciples said, “Yes, I can.” He said, “On that day, the face of my ummah will be white because of prostration, and the hands and feet will be bright white because of aju.” (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith: 2637)
