Mountain-prostrating and giving glory

One of the basic principles of various
philosophical schools is based on from
which point of view man looks at the
world of existence and nature . Some
people consider the world of existence
as mere matter lacking any intelligence,
and some believe that only a dust of life
has been sprinkled on the world of existence.
Some other thinkers believe that the
principal substance of the world is alive.
Philosophical schools like Monaad believe
in the livingness of all components of
existence.Some others have gone further,
and in addition to life,believe in a kind
of freedom and autonomy for the components
making up nature . Some are on the opinion
that if matter did not inherently possess
life or power of life,the transfiguration
of matter into life would not be imaginable;
and some others believe that man himself
is the world and supperlife.

However,in this very limited opportunity,
we intend to cast only a cursory glance
at islam's view on the perception and
intelligence of the world of existence.
The holy Qur'an mentions the glorification
of the Lord by all creatures in almost ten
verses . By using the word adoration in
four verses , Qur'an has shown creatures'
consideration towords the Lord.This general
consideration has also been shown in such
phrases as praise and prayer.It must be noted
that understanding the divine will and not
opposing it , and also acting in accordance
with the divine will are the most obvious
ways of admiration and adoration of the most
high ) the Lord (.However,this important duty
has always been neglected by some people.

This negligence is well observable from the
browbeating of such verses as ] ... but you
do not understand their glorification ...
( Al.Isra / 44 ( [ or ] do you not see that
Allah is he whom do glorify all those who
are in the heavens and the earth?) Nur/14 )].
And since the time man used his own imperfect
knowledge instead of love for learning about
the world ,day by day this negligence become
more obvious . It also affected a group of
moslems like Motazeleh so much that they
rendered incorrect paraphrases of Qor'an in
connection with this undeniable fact.

Certainly the only way of knowing and
observing the glorification of the Lord by
creatures of the world of existence is
freedom of man from nature boundedness matter
and earthly desires . In the beginning , one
thinks that only a dust of life has been
sprinkled on the world of existence , but
as one moves forward, phenomena and rules
governing the world of existence change
the scene and bring a person like Plato
from the world of reason down to a world
of inner feeling.From then on thought and
logic assume a finer and more superb meaning.
And when brain's perception of the laws and
relations governing the world of existence
commences,gradually a wonderful unity which
is under the will a super being governing
the world of existence ,reveals itself; and
it is at this very point that the unlimited
submission of a unique existence against
a super will , obviously incarnates
glorification of the world of existence.

In fact, the world seems to be inanimate
when only looked from natural properties
aspects and when hidden under the solid
crust of humane laws and hypoteses.However,
the transformation of Moses' rod into
a serpent , the glorifying melodies of the
mountain and Dawood , the making of iron
pliant in Dawood's hands,the making of wind
subservient to Sulaiman the division of the
moon into two separate parts by gesticulation
of mohammad,all indicate the whisper of all
creatures' loving glorification to their
Lord.

And in this regard it was only man who was
bestowed the honour of the adoration required
by the law of God while other creatures adore
the Lord merely in the arenas of naturally
destined adoration.
